What a farce ... I can't believe it can end like that after the output of the earlier meeting.

If I was on the equipment com. I'd wonder what the point was ...

At least sailing is not to be reserved for the dwarves... thank goodness the ISAF saw sense and kept the 2 heavy weight classes.

Personally I would have preferred the removal of the 2 "air rowing" events and the introduction of men's match racing and a mixed team racing event. These would have provided lot's of good quality racing - for the national qualifiers then the qualification events for the Olympics. We should encourage those forms of sailing where you don't have to own a boat to compete.

i wouldn't agree entirely there but for those who were/are campaigning a cat in youth sailing who are aiming for the Olympics most certainly will change into monohull sailing, i reckon

What keelboat would you use?  The reason the Yngling was selected in the first place was because there was no alternative and, as I far I know, there still isn't.

The whole thing is a farce.

I guess that's the end of youth cat sailing.  Hope the RYA are happy.

thank goodness that all women are all the same size, just imagine the pinch the ISAF would have been in if they weren't!!!!, likewise, its a good thing that only women participate in match racing or again......

Does "Two person dinghy - Women" mean they're stuck with the 470 or can the 29er (or whatever) become the "Two person dinghy"

Actual classes don't get decided until November 08, but I can't see many changes happening in the 9 existing events.
