This thread drift brings us back to why I was so positive about the new rigs ( and yes I totally understand why so many ILCA sailor love the status quo. I am NOT restarting that discussion, I understand why things will NOT change 😀) A modern rig totally changes heavy weather sailing. As I...

I have to say I wouldn’t have taken either of them out if the base wind strength was 25kts +. 😂😀. But I do totally understand there is a huge difference between the two for better sailors .

I am beginning to think you like him , deep down 😂😂😀😀

With statements like that, there are times when I wonder to myself if you have even even ever sailed a Laser, never mind owning one . 😂😂😀😀

I must be being very slow as both these words have two meanings that have been general use for the best part of a century. It’s only Rooting in connection with phones that’s in any way new . Has something gone completely over my head in this modern world ( not for the first time ) 😂😂😀

Well I would but as he has me on ignore he wouldn’t be able to see me. 😂😀

Will do , but to be honest if I ever visit North America it’s more likely to visit my second cousins in Canada.

I think you could have some more ‘ interesting’ conversations with this ILCA, than you would have with the dinghy one that’s based in Austin , Texas . 😂😂😂😂😀

Is that some kind of euphemism ? 😂😂😀

Well that’s good news for owners and new buyers of Picos, Bugs etc . Doesn’t seem that long ago that LP were boasting that they were the worlds largest manufacturer of sailing dinghys in the world .

Two easy ways to tell. 1) Has it gone bust and restarted owned by another holding company owned by the same person ? And 2) Can you get spare parts ? 😂😂😀

It’s never fun to sail a classic laser , I should know I had one for 20 years . It’s just cheap and does a job ok , nothing more . 😕😕 on the plus side you do get great class racing across most of the world 😀

It’s deader than a dead parrot. 😀

I am presuming this was more directed at Curious2 😀. As I’ve been on here long enough to know the score.

Don’t let him rile you . He isn’t worth it. Just look at the positive voices on here ( obviously not mine 😂😀). Of which there are loads. That’s the real world and the real state of the class.

Best joke you’ve ever told 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Cheers for that. It made interesting reading . 😀

Think you summed that up perfectly, Gouv. 👍

Having controls that work is the minimum that any class should have . 😀

The pleasure is all mine 😀
