New Olympic events.

I made an attempt get back on topic with the SA rumour, but let's be honest any boat called a "Europe" sounds a bit western-centric anyway.

I don't doubt the Europe will try to get back in, and it would look better to have two similar boats. Foe example Byte CII and Finn racing on the same course as the same event- if that's what they end up doing - would not be a great look. If you exclude the radial because its already there, and the 4.7 because its a horrible out of proportion mess, there aren't too many other candidates.

The whole equipment evaluation/monopoly supply thing has't been talked about much yet, but I reckon that's got potential to cause a lot of disruption too. There's a definite anti SMOD lobby in ISAF, judging by some submissions I've seen, and there's also legislative considerations. Add to the the very odd way Laser Performance have been treating their Class Associations lately, and there seems to me to be enormous potential for trouble. It all depends, I think, one whether this reval turns out to be mainly a rubber stamp affair, or really root and branch recopnsideration of supply. I have no idea which it might be!

Why not? When you're still using museum pieces that should have been dropped decades ago.
