Yep, I've know people who spent a lot of time every spring weighing Laser hulls before buying their new one for the summer. The rake issue is interesting and hadn't thought about that before.

Gouv, sounds like you're going down the path of cheese type food.

That is a classic summary of the rather variable nature of Laser construction. Variable weights, variable stiffness, variable mast rake, and lots of other stuff. Would this mean the days of going to the warehouse and weighing hulls to find the lightest would be over? And would they be light...

So they should just force the matter and sell it as a non class legal prototype sail. Or they guys who developed it should. Or somebody should build a knock off.

Gouv, Thanks for the mast step repair pix. Plots about the path I was thinking and good to know what may be present at the bottom of the tube. My boat was built in California so could be different. Will see what's in there once she's opened up later today.

Thanks, will be in touch. She's parked until repaired. Which is sad because it's light again today and my schedule would allow me to go out but not going to happen. So change that to schedule will allow me to go shopping for inspection ports

Sailed my "new" boat 45578 today. Original 1977 rigging so like time travel. Light southerlies out of Waikiki YC. Fun afternoon for her maiden voyage with me. Glad I waited until a light day. Great room for improvement. Also, need a conversation with Gouv about the mast step repair.....

CORK is a great regatta. Can get amazingly windy. Water tastes funny.

Also it filled a void just like the J24 and Hobie cat did.

Actually the one thing that is stimulating revised interest at the club level and recreational level is the use of the non class sails. Because that puts some economy into the class for people like me who just want a simple boat to sail by ourselves because it fits our current needs. Not...

Thanks ojfd. Sounds to me that the court is looking to tabulate royalties due.

X Zachary. The sail has been a problem for the life of the class. Hulls and spars are durable. The sails are disposable and the expensive disposable sails are a source of resistance. So make the flimsy sail sell for less, or make a sail that's actually worth what they charge where worth...
