If we were having sailing in the games in Glasgow this year what boats to use.
Rules
1. No Olympic classes allowed
2. Must be designed and preferably built in a commonwealth country.

So my thoughts were.
Small single hander for participants over 40 SOLO mixed fleet.
Single Hander Phantom no helms under 90kg
Two hander FIREBALL could be mixed or separate classes
Skiff Int 14 but no Bieker designs allowed or 18ft Skiff
Team Racing local boat but if no sensible choice available Firefly or Enterprise.
CAT no messing Tornado (I think this was a Canadian design)
Sail Boards sorry going to need help on this.

what are your ideas on boats and other rules possibly participants must not be part of an existing Olympic campaign.

Tornado designed in England.

I'd prefer to go with the uniquely British Catapult for the Cat class. The Farr 3.7 for the singlehander, the SA Tempo Scow for the doublehander. Maybe we could allow the Assue 18' skiff in?

And some yacht racing, in Clyde One Designs would be good.

Team racing has to be in Fireflies, of course.

Hi Itick
Sorry 505 is on dodgy ground much as I love the boat. It is an English designed boat that was redesingned to French rules.

Mens 2 handed - Firefly with the flattop main, extended mast and gnav developed by the Yanks
Mens Singlehanded - standard Firefly
Womens Double - standard Firefly
Womens Singlehanded - Firefly with storm sails

Finale - with 6 sailors per country on site - Team racing with each Commonwealth country represented.

Simple, cheap (no need to buy new boats) and team racing corresponds to TVs vast appetite for 'stadium sailing'
