Just saying.

Burn them!!! *




*not really. Never understood the squad kid witch hunt on here. Always seems to be a lot of pre-conceptions that are at odds with our general experience.

Yes please. Er Indoors is off there in July to wave flags about and measure things.  If that weren't happening I would have a much better summer.

I wonder how many Commonwealth countries you guys could  name, without recourse to google?
the same, but different...

49er FX is like saying that the Laser Radial was designed in the 80's or whatever (90's?), when patently, it is simply a smaller rig on a boat designed long before.

Yes, but it should have been made to happen, something that stylish should have succeeded, it shouldn't have been left to a bunch of silly girlies...

I demand it's used in the Games.

Choose from: Aardvark Rocket thing, Alto, Aero, Aura, D0, D1, RS100,RS500, X0, X1

Have I missed any? (That single hander merlin thing i can't remember, it's made of wood so should be disqualified anyway and the designer shot for perpetuating merliness).
Icon.  49er FX.  Aura never really happened, otherwise you could include the RS900 too.

Topper people need to be abused at every turn especially the female dob's that death glare you on the start line then sail away from you when your up on your ear in some gust. There should be special extermination camps for Topper squad members..

The Canadians have been represented for long enough at Olympic level, haven't they? Not as long as the Swedes but a few games worth now.

We could do the current century thing - or current decade, I guess, but at that point might have to look beyond the commonwealth. The Aero with 7 and 9 rigs for the women and men would be a nice start, K2 keel boat as the mixed doublehander, then all we really need is a cat and a board. Any Commonwealth versions of them from the last 4 years looking like nice toys? And that would do, how many classes do you need, anyway? Better to get 2 from each country in half the number of fleets.

Why isn't there sailing at the games, anyway?
