*ISAF committee do not care about sailors voice
Very strange voting at ISAF conference for mixed multihull*
Today we experienced a real frustrating day at the ISAF conference in
Stresa. It looks like the ISAF events committee do not respect the sailors
wish for Olympic sailing equipment.
The new Nacra 17 just were one vote ahead of the Viper16. The same time
the sailors, who tested the boats in Santander in March, made the Nacra17
to their clear favorite with 14 of 19 votes! Far ahead of all other cats at
the evaluation event.
This shows that many members in the ISAF Events committee neither care nor
respect the sailors wish and what the next generation wants. They do not
follow the evaluation report of the ISAF Evaluation Panel, the sailors
comments and the sailors 1st choice. They listen more to the lobby work
of a multihull dealers inside ISAF committee than to follow, what to the
sailors want to sail in the future Olympic Games.
As Tornado Class we can accept that sailors want another boat in the
Olympics. But we cannot accept that ISAF committee members do not listen to
the sailors. We think, soon ISAF will experience a revolution from the
sailors.
