5852 Malcolm BainbridgeMore Minority discrimination against a band of sailors who have a really great spirit of comradeship and mutual co-operation.
5853 AnonymousExcluding multihulls is straight out ludicrious.
5854 Michael DeanMessage to ISAF: 1. Reconsider the stupid and bigoted decision regarding omission of the only catamaran class in the Olympic regatta. 2. The Tornado is fast,exciting and a wonder to watch. Catamaran racing is a great advert for the whole sport of yachting. 3. Wake up, nobody is interested in slow, boring boats - that restrict entry due to cost. 4. Your decision smacks of vested interest and medal grabbing by a few countries.
5855 Anthony TownsendI am deeply troubled by the ISAF's decision to not include a multihull in the Olympic sailing classes for the 2012 Olympics. The UK has a very well documented history of developing world class multihulls. It would be most appropriate to add multihull classes rather than remove them.

5857 Ben DavicWhy would you vote out a high speed boat in favor a boat sailing at a snail's pace?

5865 Charles ClemensI would think that the number multihull races held over the world be enough.

5869 Stephen BrayshawIts an absolute joke that we even need to fight to keep the multihull in the olympic. Pull your head in isaf
5870 Ian Keam-GeorgeThe decision to omit catamarans from the 2012 Olympics is likely to have a detrimental impact on sailing as a whole. From a televisual perspective high-performance craft are required. This means dinghies, like the 49er, and catamarans. It would be a mistake to ratify the decision from Last November and could result in long term damage to he sport as an Olympic event.
5871 Alfred AndragPlease include multi hulls

5887 John DowneyCatamaran sailing is a fundamental part of the sport of sailing...as such it should be represented at the Olympics. I have sailed the Tornado from 1974 to 1987 (UK National Champion twice)...now sailing the A Class, where 70 to 90 boat fleets are seen at championships. Same with the F18, H16 etc.....this is not some small splinter group, cats are mainstream sailing.

5900 Brian JenningsMult-hull sailing offers a simple and easy way into sailing. The smaller ones are ideal family boats. The larger/race orientated ones off excitment that cannot be matched for ordinary sailors, but require skill to really sail well. Mixed crews are ideal for most multi-hull classes. Not having the fastest boat represented in the Olympics is down right daft.
