Hopefully with some conditions to put the class back in control of its builders again...

Reckon so, b**tard awful boat that is it, it does get backsides on the water and the longer it stays a volume production boat there will always be trickle down of used boats to keep the single handed part of our game alive at grass roots and for that reason alone it would get my vote to continue.

On the other hand it's a missed opportunity for something new.

There are things World Sailing can be criticised for, but claims that they are getting backhanders don't add up and are pretty damn harsh.
Never been involved in the process then?

So who has the biggest back-hander budget that they are willing to play?

RS are British and so will play by the rules. Not Aero then.

Devotti will be passed over as they are masters if the Finn

So it’s either the Melges (vote Trump) or Laser (ISAF helped us double-f**k Bruce Kirby)

Laser then

Phew, the *eros can heave a sigh of relief their class avoided the 5-ring pox. And who cares if the Melges monstosity is strangled at birth?

Bugger. Melges it will be
