ISAF Event Selection

Yes for sure Catsrule, and I am sure a lot of people who potentially could've missed out would have the same view about their discipline.

'A hell of a lot better' is a matter of opinion.

well which class could have been dropped without a discipline? the only answer to that is men's single hander, since there are two - lightweight and heavyweight.................hmmm. i think debating is no longer going to resolve anything, but now as sport, we need to focus on making 2012 as good as it can be, so in 2016 we get a larger quota of athletes again. we need media, worldwide participation and interest, and positive response from the publc now.

Bo**ocks!

I'm erked again already, since the site wasn't playing the other week my number of posts has gone down to the 60s from the 90s if I was a cyber geek that sort of thing could really upset me! I'm going to blame ISAF!

Back to bed .....can't bare to face the day now

The problem is an entire discipline was kicked out of the Olypmics. 

single handed / double handed / heavy weight and high performance are all sub-catagories to the monohull discipline.

Cats also have simular sub-catagories.

Disciplines should be......

Monohull

Multihull

Keelboat

Sail Board.

And should not be negotiable.  Sub-catagories could be added later to fill quota or increase Athlete quota between disciplines.

If you divided Monohull into single and double handed then you have 5 classes, times 2 (have Men and Womens catagory) you have your ten classes.... magic, problem solved!

The ISAF Sailors do not seem to be listened to, they can not vote and were not even allowed to speak before the secret ballot, to me things seems very wrong.
