......but then the games will be over and you'll lose any of the games hook that you are using to gain publicity now?? Literally no-one would be interested in your cause if this wasn't an Olympic year as people's attention would be drawn to other sailing matters.
I think times have changed since 1980. The world, media and politics are a completely different place now. As mentioned above - look a F1 - their organising body are now happy to send the teams into potentially dangerous places regardless. No political influence there - just cash and sponsors!
