*The Formula 1 of Sailing is back on the wave to the Olympics
Mixed Multihull is a Olympic Sailing Discipline
The ISAF council followed the recommendation of the ISAF Events committee
with 19 votes in favor and 16 against. Multihull is back on the wave to the
Olympics. This is a provisorial result and still there is theoretically
chance to change this result in May 2011 at the ISAF Meeting in St.
Petersburg (RUS).
But this chance is relativ small, because there was a clear sign they will
not touch the Multihull any more. They really want us back, because we will
bring the ultimative action for the media and spectators in the Olympic
Sailing Arena.
Mixed Multihull is the new Olympic discipline. The class will be decided
with an Evaluation Event and a final decision in November 2012. But we made
the most important step now. We got only positive comments from the national
sailing federations and their representatives in Athens.
84% in favor for the Comeback for the Multihull says it all. We made a very
fair campaign and never said something against other classes. We followed
our ethics and this way we got great sympathy from all.
We were quite surprised they want have us back as an mixed discipline. But
the multihull scene has the most mixed teams in their sport. Because women
and men like to sail and fly together above the waves.
We never were thinking it can come so fast to us. We won the Tornado Worlds
just some months ago and now our sport is olympic. We are so happy. Already
we got so much positive response from womens who want sail multihull with a
men.
A new Era comes to the Olympics. Mixed Sailing on the Formula 1 is a real
highlight and it will attract the youth, the spectators, the media and the
sponsors.
Nahid Gaebler was a great promoter of womens for Multihull. She deserve the
honor.
Thanks you all. You gave us great support the last years, months and weeks.
We archived a sensational result with a great team. Thank you.
Now we will party hard in Athens :-)
