You are very, very wrong; Cat issue is anything but dead for 2012.

My money is on the 11th medal & the return of the cats ...

Gambling on IOC decisions, or even ISAF ones, would be a very risky business...

Agreed; I didn't say how much

No need to be perplexed ...



I wonder, is that actually true?

Has anyone defined a standard course length and measured it?

Substitute the V3000 for the Osprey in the blow.

A course with a mile beat then run the comparison, that would be very
interesting, has it occurred? Have I missed something more scientific
about the PY than I realise?

GRF - no need to do any science. Much as I like the Osprey, even in F6 it would never acheive the speeds that a 49er will reach in F4. In F6 I would imagine the 49er to be a major handful, but I would have thought that was mainly down to the size of the rig making it bloody difficult to reduce drag to a sensible level. A smaller rig for windy conditions would maybe solve the problem.but I'm just guessing. My choice goes to something I can just rig and go sailing, whatever the conditions.

I have no data to back that up ... would be easiest to prove using polars off GPS data a bit like these ...

I think we may have to wait as long as February or even May to know about the 11th Medal.

What's your money on jon? If we won;t have a decision for so long I guess we'll have to fil the time with rampant speculation, so lets get it started :)
