More Corrupt BS

Seems Finn, 470 and RSX are in firing line. 

If the Finn went I would feel sorry for the bigger gentleman, as there wouldn't really be anywhere to go for those over 90 kg. Having said, the ladies only have one option in the radial, so maybe it should be the same for men?

470 would be a shame if it went. I think it's probably the closest to the average dinghy most of us sail. 

I would quite fancy a short handed offshore race though. I don't think the stadium racing has ever worked as you can never really get close enough for it to work. I think the best viewing is done by mounting cameras and technology on the boats; which gets easier the bigger the boat you have. I think following an offshore race from the opening ceremony to the closing one would make a good narrative too.... equipment cost and accessibility for third world nations would be a major sticking point for the IOC though. 

The problem with the RSX is that it is neither one thing or the other, it's trying to be a formula type planing board with the CB up, but it's nearly double the weight, (it's actually 2.5 kg heavier than a much larger Raceboard). With the CB down it's trying to be a Raceboard but it's nearly 1.4 metres shorter so basically it's slow to plane, slow when planing, slow in displacement mode and, if many who have sailed one are to be believed, distinctly unpleasant to sail (much as a 49er with 80kg of lead underneath would likely be).
