Edit: Seems like an overkill to have 3 Dinghy events. I think the single handed dinghy events - ILCA6 & ILCA 7 - are essentially entry level boats which allows smaller nations to take part. In that regard they are similar to the single sculls event in rowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is cheaper than the other classes and the one-design rules also helps the universality. Unless a new "universality class" is made, I don't see it cut in the future. Killing 470 would mean killing history, but it has been done with both Star and Finn. Wouldn't be surprised if that's coming in the future.

I wouldn't mind some match-racing back, but that's gonna be with a crew of 2 or 3. The F50 would be extremely exclusive, expensive and would take a lot more from the boat park!
