YNZ Olympic Committee

ISAF Selection of Olympic Classes for 2012

Dear Des

Can you please distribute this letter to the YNZ Olympic Committee and YNZ Board members as appropriate.

It was with considerable disappointment that we have learnt that the multihull class has been not been selected to sail at the 2012 Olympics. We cannot understand how ISAF can claim that the selection is a “showcase of the wide range and diversity of sailing” while the multihull class has been excluded.

We are aware that Yachting New Zealand voted to exclude the multihull class. This vote was significant to the overall result. Can you, or the YNZ Olympic Committee please advise on the basis that this vote was cast.

The Tornado class has been very successful in past contests for New Zealand. Multihull classes are well supported across New Zealand, and in turn deserve the support of YNZ.


Regards





Glenn Syman
