Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but is the question *why* are there men's and women's events instead of a joint event?

If that is the question, in some (if not all?) of the events, the sail area differs between the two. Men are given boats with bigger sails that can be difficult to keep down below a certain body weight, where women have sails that favour people who are lighter, and possibly less tall too. The hulls are the same, but the mast and sail have a big impact and are different.
