Dear Sailing Friends,
We made the first step for a comeback of the Multihull.
As a Mixed Olympic Discipline.
We got 84% positive votes in the ISAF Events Com. This is sensational and
far ahead of all other classes (Finn, Matchrace women, Star, 470 mixed, 470
men) which were in our voting group for the last 4 olympic slots for 2016.
The ISAF Events Com. will forward and recomended this voting with Mixed
Multihull to the ISAF Council and Executive Com. which have their meeting
the next days. These ISAF Councel Meeting can change a lot. But they cannot
ignore the 84% from the Events Com.
And in May 2011 at the ISAF Midyear Meeting the National Sailing
Federations can still re-vote it all. So we are not 100% save, but in a very
good position. 84% in favoir for Multihull shows us we are in a in a
excellent mode for all future ISAF Com. votings.
It is a clear sign they want modernize Olympic Sailing with a high
performance multihull. Our sailing discipline has very good options for a
spectator and media sport. In Rio 2016 they plan a 10.000 seat sailing
stadium at the water and the Multihulls will deliever the best action exact
on time between 1 and 35 knots.
Latest in May 2011, we also know how we select the type of boat for this new
Mixed Olympic Multihull Discipline. Beside Tornado, there are other
Multihulls who like to get the Olympic Spot. So we expect an fair and open
Multihull evaluation event.
As Tornado Class we want to be fair and open and we are happy to take this
challenge. Only together with the other Multihull Classes we can make our
high adrenaline sport better than ever.
Now we party in Athens!
Cheers,
Roland
