2 stuart offerby the actions of ISAF they have shown that they are NOT in touch with the real sailors and how they want to be represented.
3 Andrea OfferI feel that ISAF have let my husband and my family down very badly
4 Tim LawsThis is not the way to modernise the Olympics - think again ISAF.
5 David Lloyd WH InsuranceWhy remove the Formula one of sailing and replace it with a Bus? Multihulls are the most exciting, fastest, and best for TV. The IOC needs to act to get them reinstated.
6 Kevin SimmonsISAF & US Sailing are dead
7 Paul MinesEndorse Cat sailing as an inclusive sport
8 Kai Runge
9 David Muir RolfeThe decision to exclude all multihulls from the 2012 Olympics is reprehensible and unjustifiable. The Tornado class offers fast, exciting competition and clearly representative of the Olympic ideal.
10 mark homerabsolute disgrace - sod them !!!!

15 AnonymousAllow Multihull sailors to represent their country. Excluding them is a terrible blow to the sailing community. Let them be represented.

28 Martin ChadderThe RYA and ISAF have nailed the Lid on their own Coffin. LETS NOW BURY THEM ! We need to set up our own Yachting association as an alterrnative to the RYA A Good name may be Real Sailing GBR
29 Jesper Krautwald
30 B. van peltThe multihull sailing requires more accuracy and technical knowledge of sailing than regular sailing. So which one of those should be olympic?
31 Dave ClarkMultihulls are the record breaking sailing craft in the world - why does the sailing community wish to deny its access for the Youth / average sailor? Hobie 16s / Hobie Tiger / Tornado can be sailed by a large group of people

33 Sander de Boer
34 Nickolas ChampionI think it will be disenfranchising a large and very active section of the sailing population if the Tornado is removed from the Olympic classes.
35 Joe Siudzinski
36 Rob DoyleISAF "Inspired by the Past, Administration in the past, heading back to the past"
37 Kuzovov SergeyStrange and very bad decision. Support Multihull for Volvo Youth Championship and then made a RED Lamp when hey growth.

40 AnonymousI dont personally sail catamarans but my brother does and is very into it. i dont know what he will do without catamarans!
41 Ronald F BorgeI served as Commodore of Roton Point Sailing Association (we are a multihull club) and introduced multihulls to the Stamford/Denmark Friendship race several years ago as part of the race committee. Many of the top sailors in the world sail and campaign multihulls. There is always room for those that are driven to compete especially at the Olympic level. This petition should never have been necessary.
42 Erik van de Lindemultihull sailing has the future as it inspires new generations more strongly than monohull sailing does. The young image of multihulls provides an excellent opportunity to market sailing. Banning multihulls is saying no the future.
43 Simon StannardI fail to see how removing multi-hulls meets the objectives of increasing diversity, encouraging mixed sex participation, and attracting audiences. The inclusion of mulit-hulls would help the IOC to achieve all of these. Crazy.

47 chrisA crazy decision which will leave a bitter taste to all in the cat (and it would appear many of the mono) sailing community. Along with the 49er, they are the only exciting disciplines at the games!
48 gerard loosi think that they make a big mistake because we make more starts in a year than any orther class
49 Mark ThomsonThe recent press release from th UKCRA accurately captures my sentiments concerning this appalling decision - http://www.asnr29.dsl.pipex.com/UKCRA_Press_Release_20071110.doc
50 Mike MadgeI agree the Olmpics is now more then ever becoming EXCLUSIVE then INCLUSIVE
