Somewhat off topic, but the LaserPerformance website seems moribund
Very few parts and a lot of 'contact sales team'

Thanks for those two referrals.
Just short titbits as of now.

Would love to see video of the medal races. Is there any?
No, not the digital imagery...

Those Star sailors were real men...
Thanks for posting!

Sandy Point State Park has nice ramps and direct access (no bridge) to the Bay.

You sure are a master getting all those toys on top of your car.
I may call you for some help...

To my girly girl;
hey, nice weather; let's go sail my porn...
How would she respond?

Why did the waiver that was signed by the parents for their son's participation in the program not hold?
In layman's terms please

Quite similar to the ones from SEA and Rooster.
SEA also has one with just a waist band, rather than straps. I have the SEA one with the straps, but they tend to come off; a minor nuisance.

Do I see a jib on the Cascais?

SO jealous!
BTW, nice recovery from the capsize.

Not the Laser; but if I were you, I would consider a Sunfish or its updated version Rocket.
I believe that there are a bunch of Sunfishes in your area; something to consider if you would like some sort of socialization to go along with your sailing.

Absolutely no sane person has ever gone into the Business of building small racing sailboats because it was seen as the best financial possibility for investment.
in fact, that statement pretty much applies to anything having to do with sailing.
Those of us who serve sailing do so because the personal rewards exceed the value of the money we could have accumulated instead.
fact:
If you think there is a person doing something anywhere in the world of sailing who is in it purely for the money you are a misguided ignorant person.
Gouv doesn't seem to remember a fellow by the name of Rastegar...

So, I've heard someone is circling their wagons in NA to become an ILCA builder.....I think the next 6 months will be interesting.
I doubt that this idea will come to fruition.
Too many builders as it stands IMHO; I would not be surprised if one of the current builders will throw in the towel before too long.

Whatever happened to Saurage's boat?
For those on the outside, it ended up with a 'boat load' of water inside...

Six minutes wasted...

Unfortunately, Xeon hit the nail on the head with respect to the Sunfish class and LP.

The word from Sarasota is that decks were delamming and that the build quality is crap.
Those are strong words. Can you provide some evidence?
Did you participate?

Something else
Which manufacturer supplied the boats for the current ILCA Worlds?

I see a lack of “doing the things I believe are necessary to build the game.”
a few people are doing some stuff locally but I simply do not see any of the National or North American level support ( I think is fundamental and necessary) from anyone.
Scott W has done an excellent job as secretary of District 11. I am confident he will do the same at the North American level.

After an extensive evaluation process analyzing every single detail of the boat both on and off the water we are glad to announce that The Laser is officially being produced in Portugal!

Those will be picked up (at a discount) by resorts etc.
Not sure how big a market that will be.
