RS Aero Recommended by Equipment Committee
World Sailing's Equipment Committee just voted for the Aero for the 2024 Olympics.
Here are the results: Aero 9; Laser/ILCA 3; D-Zero 0; Melges 0; Abstention: 1
Council vote to take place on Sunday 19.
Update: Council voted in favor of the Laser, against the recommendation of the equipment committee.
However, the Laser will need to get an Olympic contract signed by August 1 2019, which will require it "to put its house in order" - with negotiations starting this May 22nd with the Laser class ILCA, LaserPerformance, other builders and World Sailing.
