While the subject of Code Zero sails in the Tornado class continues to cause unrest at the Olympic regatta, the international body for the sport should be carefully considering the open letter to President Goran Petersson from the UK Catamaran Racing Association’s president, Nick Dewhirst.
Dewhirst pulls no punches in his plea for reconsideration of the decision to eliminate multihulls from the Olympics, sending the letter to a magazine in the form of an advertisement because he points out that: ‘you have previously responded to our earlier research and suggestions only through the media.’
That original decision-making at Cascais in November last year was severely criticized throughout the sailing community and among members of the ISAF Council but despite Petersson ‘s recommendation that it should be re-affirmed at the mid-year meeting in May, the Councillors voted to review the decision.
