I wonder why it's in the "most popular classes" lists. Maybe because of its name? A Lugger maybe, but what is it lugging?

Either that, or it's the secret weapon the ISAF is getting ready for the Weymouth Olympics ...

Yeah. As in it would look better in a bottle...
Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and
oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital
ingredient in beer.

Not sure that the number of hits is a true indication of how popular the class is or wouldn't Laser be top. After all it is the only boat where at the World Championships everyone uses a supplied boat, so the only difference is the person in the boat,  so it really is the best sailor who wins!!!

It still doesn't answer the question of how the Pico is number 1 though.
