yep- about right for 70kg. Perhaps they could run it in low rider moths....? All the old boys who wax on 'bout low riders seems to need Kleenex when the term "skippy" is mentioned. Let's put the girls in "skippy moths"... whatever the f**k they were.

Extreme thread drift right there, Dolphins and Kangeroos
World sailings lack of transparency and apparent common sense to blame, if they read this forum, I would exam some of the information they are releasing, they are becoming a laughing stock. I believe their dithering around weight and gender could be answered by Keel boats, perhaps commission an Olympic Keel boat ?

The Star is a great boat, but too expensive for 3rd World countries, World sailing would be far too embarrassed, blatant display of affluence.

Any of this 'new equipment' is going to require development. Even if kit is 'supplied', there is the inevitable pre-event development process of making sure you can optimise your standard kit at the event. And a new event format...there will be a whole programme for working out whether it is better to have a fast woman and 'blocking' male (we don't know the format so M and F may be on the water at the same time) or two 'equal' competitors. Guess what? The countries that can afford the money for these development programmes will not be the likes of the Peoples' Republic of Congo but the same old sail codes. Which countries will set up bases at the forthcoming venues 6 yrs in advance? Who will have tiered squad systems to develop athletes? These changes aren't going to alter the pecking order, just the shape of the chickens.
