Please Support Multihull Sailors

Hi All

Please sign the Petition and let multihull sailors compete in the Olympics and not boaring Keelboats.
I have a friend that has just been told by the RYA that they could have funding for a chance for 2012 and after Fridays Decision has been told that they can have six months. He is now not sure what to do with his sailing Career.

It would indeed be a shock to most people not to have the Tornado in the Olympics. I crew a Dart 18. It's a simple but great boat. Designed by the same person who did the T. You can really get a blast on a D, but a T inspires youth to take up sailing as a sport, being more hi-tech etc. More so in my opinion than a keelboat, which would hardly ever get its nose up, let alone glide. (exclude flying 15s etc).

So I recommend you sign the petition and ignore the "would you like to contribute?" bit at the end.
