As always I have time to read and enjoy the words and thoughts of Hasse. Many in the fleet have taught me how to sail a 2.4, only Hasse has taken the time to share his considerable boat design knowledge and help me and many others improve our boat. You are a credit to the fleet.

My personal view is wit the need for forward strategic planning for the class.
It was obvious (to those who have worked with global organisations) that as soon as sailing was dropped from the Paralympics, we would not be back in.
It does not meet the corporate need. At that point we should have been looking to the future of Para Sailing not waiting 6 years.
As an aside I do not think sailing will be in the Olympics in 2032, again does not meet IOC future policy needs.
Para Sailing in the 2.4 OD, have you been reading WS future policy, it was on their website. All boats will need to be exactly the same and probably manufacture supplied, so my guess forget the NOD.
We need to plan for the future try and not make instant, unthought through ideas. We work with WS decsion will take at least a year.
