Ok. Lets open the speculation flood gates. Which classes will be there? Lets remember this is for 18 & under athletes. Any thoughts?

When I was 18 I'd have liked i14, Fireball, Int Canoe, 505, Hurricane 5.9.... if I was 18 now, I'd like Musto Skiff, i14, 49er, 29er(XX), Cherub, IAC and Spitfire/F18...

expensive? - yes
tricky to master? - yes
considered "too big" for yoof classes? - yes
more fun than PS3/Wii/XBox and definitely than seemingly endless Laser derivatives? - YES!
