....^^...nice looking piece of kit!
I remember when the sail changed from 3.2 to 3.8oz or whatever it is,was. The shape and firmness made the sail feel more like a finn sail,, actually having adjustable shape.
Methinks the extra boatbux are sorta justified. The heavier weight and radial cut...

....all they have to look at is the mess in the courts,,,the 'banter' here,,,look at the boat,,,look at the class organization**,,,,,think of alternatives available............really. it's...

....that seems like a big 'ask' of ISAF...why would they bother?? Wouldn't they not just open things up to the brave new world of other SH'er options that have been developed in the current century!?
...Laser has been in sooo much trouble for sooo long,,,but there's alternatives now. :mellow:

....yup,,,sometimes even the best intentions can backfire.......not to say that I think Gouv was acting with best intentions when he had some semblance of authority
