On my second read, I noticed one submission for a Formula One Design.  At first I thought it was a bit rich allowing cars into the fray, but realised quickly that it must be some sort of boat.

I have done a quick google search and only come up with sites about cars.  Does anyone know what it is?

I know, although i guess ruling out an entire multi hull category would make a mockery of the equipment selection - very good spot of the loophole by isaf but not great for those hopes of many!

That sounds very much like a discrimination case, especially following the recent Americas cup antics!

ISAF ruled out multi hulls in any of their classes, as seen on the isaf website:

http://www.sailing.org/23280.php?PHPSESSID=feec32183e02b3d9a eef6f5239f6aa0d

"Deliberations then returned to the 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition (click here to read the report from Saturday on the Council's decision on the Olympic events). The ISAF Regulations require Council to make a list of equipment for the 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition at this meeting. It is from this list that in November 2008 Council will select the equipment for the 2012 Games. The regulations require that the list shall include all equipment proposed through a valid submission, whether or not there is an event on the programme suitable for the equipment proposed. Having reaffirmed at Saturday's opening meeting that the multihull would not be on the programme for the 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition, Council wished to ensure this requirement to make a list was not misleading in the context of the multihull event. Therefore, whilst submissions were received proposing multihull equipment for the dinghy events and multihull equipment is included on the following list, Council added the proviso that 'the selection of equipment for dinghy events for the 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition will not be open to multihulls*'. "

The equipment list is:

 29er XX  International Moth
 470   Laser
 49er  Laser Radial
 Byte CII  Laser SB3 (M)
 Capricorn*  Musto Performance Skiff
 Europe  Nacra F18*
 F18*  RS: X
 Formula One Design  Sonar
 Finn  Star
 Hobie Tiger*  Tornado*
 J/22  Ultimate 20
 J/24  Yngling
 J/80
