In response to the news from the ISAF Events Committee that keelboats, such as the Star class, may not be part of sailing in the 2012 Olympics, comments included this:
"Keel boat racing is an essential skill in sailing. It links dinghies to yachts and forms a progression for sailors to get to the higher echelons competition.

Come on ISAF, give it some consideration..."

Apparently the ISAF Council did give it some consideration and in a close vote, turned down the recommendation of the Events Committee. In the final voting by the Council, the keelboat event remained on the list for 2012; see full reports at http://www.sailing.org/meetings
