| 251 | Robert Frentzen | Why exclude the fasted, most spectacular and most challenging form of sailing???? Big mistake! |
| 252 | Andy McDaid | |
| 253 | Mike Jeans | It would be a disgrace if we don't include this form of sailing which is very different from monohull racing I have been sailing cats for over 20 years and would like to see the Whites success and others continue |
| 254 | Steven Baker | A dreadful decision |

| 257 | Anonymous | I sail dinghys But I have two son both of 14/16 years old sailing Cats, and enjoyed watching GB at the last Olympic doing so well at sailing. |
| 258 | Forbes Durdin | As a former member of the US sailing team (01-04) agree with UKCRA |
| 259 | Richard Roake | ISAF has just definitively proven that is long past its useful "use by date" and is no longer capable of representing its members interests. |
| 260 | David Whittle | Why drop multihulls? Athletics have an extremely diverse range of events. Sailing does not compete with that but to drop an important aspect of sailing is wrong. It's relative speed compared to monohulls makes for more exciting viewing/spectating. |

| 262 | Anonymous | Maybe they should have released this information on the 1st April ... Seems a bit late to be playing a joke like this.
Just which countries have womens match racing teams? |
| 263 | David Ball | This is so, so wrong. I hope the IOC will register that ISAF's decision appears to run contrary to the majority view held by the sailing community. |
| 264 | Boris Ehret | |
| 265 | Matthias Schmid | The Olympis sailing competition should represent all boattypes. So it makes really no sense to have two one person dinghy men and no multihull! |

| 269 | Jacqueline King | I am shocked and tremendously disappointed that the ISAF has decided to completely remove the catamaran class from the Olympics. This disenfranchises a entire segment of the sailing community. The representative Tornado class showcases some of the best attributes of sailing with their unparalleled speed, athleticism and technical expertise.
Please let me know of your plans to support the reinstatement of the Tornado as an Olympic Class boat and what we can do to help. |
| 270 | Willemse | Absolutely nonesense to boycot catamaran sailing from the olympics. The olympic games should be applicable for al kinds of sailing. Catamaran sailing gives a total different, tactical view compared to monohull sailing, which should not be abandonned at the olymics.
Yours Sincerely,
P.M. Willemse, M.D. |
| 271 | neil moxham | why take out one of the largest classes in the world |
| 272 | Michael Boswell | |
| 273 | bart Aukes | banishment of the multihull during the games is the
"coupe de grace" for the cat world |
| 274 | Adam Borcherding | Multihulls, beach cats in particular, represent a huge portion of sailing worldwide. The Olympic selection shoud represent that! However, I do believe the Tornado to be antiquated and expensive to campaign. Lets move to the Formula 18! |
| 275 | David Wood | Dart sailor, Nationals, Europeans, Worlds. Olympics would not be complete without a multihul section. What did Ellen McArthur sail? |
| 276 | Jim Stewart | |
| 277 | Anonymous | The Olympic Movement further distances itself from both public interest and relevance to the youth of today and society in general. |

| 279 | Joe Purches | Appalled!!! |
| 280 | Matthew Bennett | I wish to protest against such a politically motivated and retrograde step, which ignores the interests of a major part of the sailing fraternity around the world. |
| 281 | James Orkins | I'm an active multi-hull sailor and racer in the US and have also competed at the international level at Hobie Worlds. It would be a sad day in the sailing world if multi-hull sailing was removed from the Olympic games. I would like to request that multi-hull sailing REMAIN as part of the Olympic games.
Best regards-
-James. |

| 284 | Robin Boardman | To select three slow and ponderous boats, the Finn, Star and Yngling, and not one multihull is a sad day for the sport of sailing and Olympic yachting |
| 285 | Katy Barnes | |
| 286 | Marcus Tomblin | That was a really biased and stupid decision, you just removed one of the best spectator events from the Olympics, who wants to watch a finn at 8 kts when you can watch a tornado at 20+ kts under spinnaker. Shame on you ISAF. |
| 287 | Geoff Carter | As an F18 Hobie sailor I fully support the continuaiton of Multihull sailing as either Tornado or F18 classes or both |
| 288 | Phil Oakes | |
| 289 | Nick Tayler | |
| 290 | Jill Nickerson | This is a completely irresponsible decision and sets sailing up to be completely ilimminated from the Olympics due to taking one of the most exciting classes if not the most exciting class out. They want sailing to be more affordable...some please explain how keel boats are affordable in away to sail or to ship to regattas. You can put 10 Tornados in a container...you can put 2 keel boats at best in a container. This is not a decision that reflects a TODAYS attitude towards sport. The sport of sailing will be like watching grass grow. |
| 291 | Krzysztof Presz | I wonder why the most spectacular and so skill demanding class should be romoved from the Olimpics? |
| 292 | Gábor Jankovics | |
| 293 | Mathias Dietz | Sailing should be represented at the olympic games by sporty, athletic and attractive classes. Therefore I call on the ISAF to keep in the olympics the catamaran as one of the most sporty and attractive boat class. |

| 296 | Anonymous | I can se no reason why multihulls are excluded from the Olympics, indeed they would be a great specticle. |
| 297 | Robbert Nieuwenhuijs | It is a very narrow minded decision from the ISAF not to allow the multihull class in the 2012 Olympics. The classes should be determined by number of (registered ?) sailors instead by a limited number of old men. |
| 298 | Steven J. Leo | |
| 299 | scott anderson | An utterly disgraceful decision by the body that is supposed to represent all sailors , not just monohulls.It is an insult to all multihull sailors worldwide past and present - ISAF you are now the enemy. |
| 300 | Eckart Kaphengst | dropping catamarans is the first step for sailing to being thrown out of the olympics. it is crazy to have slow, heavy and boaring boats at the games and throwing out exciting, fast and sporty boats. Even non catamaran sailors can't say the new collection is representative for the sport. |
