056-04.pdf is the file you need from the ISAF site - can't find it. I will look again tomorrow unless anyone else can find it.

That link dosn't work.

Anyway I was wrong the document of interest is 037-03.pdf and I have a copy but not a link. PM me if you want me to email over the doc. It's the minutes from the events committee for 2008 Olympics

In it it states;

Mens Dinghy Events: i.e. Laser and 470

Unversally available equipment
Sailed worldwide
Suitable for the average physique
Economical
Athletic
Technically simple, of out of the box

The above sounds like a Laser and 470(almost) to me.

Open Dinghy Events; i.e.49er and Finn

Innovative: design; technology; format of racing; courses
Added media appeal
"Buzz" for young and established sailor
Fast and athletic
Scope for development

The above sounds like a 49er but certainly not a Finn; if this is their criteria I'd expcet the Finn to be out next time for a MPS.

regards,

Rick

Yeha I do have to say that the finn isnt a bad class, just not neceseraly a very good choice for the open class. Why did they get changed over.?
