[PW] Male/female competition

[Karen Aust]

At the time of the  Atlanta Olympics, at least, I know from personal 
knowledge that there was no mixed boardsailing. Boardsailing is one of the 
official Olympics sailing classes. Please confirm the sailing category by 
reference to this year's event list as cited in an earlier post.
