It's time to get rid of the Finn, it is a relic of the past. Do an evaluation for a second men's single hander, there are plenty of candidates, Moth, Musto skiff etc.

Same applies to the 470 for mixed two-hander

Should also get rid of the women's keelboat event, it skews the gender balance, is high cost and lower performance. I also think it's a bit patronizing to women, it's like putting in a cycling event with training wheels for women.

pls put a carbon wing mast and some kevlar sails on Lasers, as they look so old.
I Believe the moth should be in instead of the Laser!!!
