Wess 2,723 Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 2 hours ago, RobbieB said: Much anger and angst OK so your answer to the question of is it good for sailors that the construction manual is not public and why is: "As a competitor I don't care HOW they make them. I care that they ALL fall within what is deemed as an acceptable build tolerance range. I believe and trust the class leadership and newly hired technical build inspectors/consultants are much more qualified to know/manage that range than I am or will ever be. YES- THE BUILDERS MANUAL IS FOR THE PAYING BUILDERS ONLY-NOT SAILORS AND I'M 100% FINE WITH THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Seems kinda non-responsive to me but never mind. Maybe take a breath and a Zanax. To think I was trying to avoid a bruhaha with the peanut gallery LOL. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I fully understand that you do not believe that it is necessary for the builders manual needs to be public for reasons outline above. You have your answer @Wess Wess seems to be keeping his position on the topic to himself...which is also fine...or he can outline if he thinks it should be public and why ? or just drop the topic (but where would be the fun in that?) Would that it were so simple... Wess is that 8th grade Social Studies teacher that asks questions and makes statements just to get the class thinking. That's the only logical reason for many of his posts. I also think he has bet some rum with someone that that he can drag this out over 100 pages.

Interesting to see whether Devoti competes with Ovingtons by building a cheaper boat or a faster boat. Because the business model of an identical boat at a higher price has never got a lot of traction. . Preferably they price close to each other with identical boats but distinguish their offering with service. Currently the pricing is almost identical . Devoti is EU 6,575 inc carbon top section = c. $7,900 Ovington is UKP 5169 = c. 7,990. Exchange rates explain away the difference.

Wavedancer II 136 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 As a long-term member of The (in)famous Laser Class (TLC), I received an update. What was most interesting perhaps is that LP claimed to have sold 585 Lasers with their own plaque. I think that this is considerably less than 'back in the day', before ILCA dropped LP as a builder. I speculate that most of these Lasers have stayed within Europe. and finally, we are a happy class! Its official - last year, 585 new One-Design Lasers were distributed with the new Laser Class plaque - a real testament to the continuing LP Laser build quality. This year the Laser Class technical committee will be inspecting and monitoring the production of the Laser to ensure you continue to receive a first-class sailing experience. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
