    Lasers - Applying a Blow Torch

    BB : near the mark mate, only how does one reverse engineer a "secret specification", in this case the Construction Manual ? Perhaps there are ways to measure the unknown, ILCA seem to have the ability, simply put it to a vote.

    Lasers - Applying a Blow Torch

    ojfd : Are you sure it is ISAF and ILCA that approve builders not Kirby ? They may validate the build of the Laser for compliance, the licience arrangement to build pursuant to the Construction Manual is most certainly Kirby's domain ~ approval.

    Der- Dude Only read what is on the net, I think as posted on SA. As a Laser / Torch owner and in the marine industry I fully support BK. The current front page of SA on the subject is indicative of gross misinformation. Get their bloody act together !

    Lasers - Applying a Blow Torch
