My platform:

What's Tracy Usher ever done for me?

Radial sails made from pink bedsheets. My manufacturer will give a massive discount of 20% off of current Radial sail rates.

I want Ross B where I can keep an eye on him--under me.

Just kidding about that. Tracy Usher is the best prez ever. In fact, when I replace him, I'll honor him with placing his sail number on all of my pink Radial bedsheet sails. Ross B, I'm delegating to you to find out Mr. Usher's sail number.
 
Is LaserBabee back?

Old G, I'm not sure, but it looks like something like that is coming over us... That are the moments, I hate not to speak enough Turkish language, to immediately have a phone call quick to Istanbul to inform Shevy..., sorry.

Cheers Lu

Shevy, shmevy. Who gives a rat's ass what DrLaser thinks? He abandaned us. Laser Babee must be something from the old, now barely accessible, DrLaser website. DrShmaser has nothing to do with me, and I'm sure he could care less, too.

Back on topic, Ribecca for President!
 
Being daft and having opinions is definitely the thing at all levels of politics.

So what about that sail number, big fella? You are the L*aser Savant!
 
I am beginning to think that we should have a sail-off between Ross and Ribecca with the format to be set by Old Geezer. Maybe something along the lines of the old slalom affair in SF Bay in 20+ winds?

In Lasers of course, not Finns :)

An "affair" between me and Ross? That would be harassment on my part, being future prez and all. I sail Radial anyway. How would we have a fair match?

I like it, a Laser Deathmatch -- let's make it the PCCs this August 10-12. It's smack dab in the middle of the San Francisco Bay with great winds and waves. No entry limits like the Nationals so any contender for the Laser throne is welcome to strut their stuff. In fact, it seems to me that if someone is throwing their hat into the ring for Class Pres. or VP they need to be at the Major Regattas earning some of those Grand Prix Points (25 at the PCCs!). Time to sail up or shut up! ;) So Ross & Ribecca, show us the stuff you're made of, you gotta lead the revolution from the front! See you at Treasure Island?!?
 
PCC's are not in the cards for me this year, sorry guys

C'mon Ross. You don't need to to sail. Go and schmooze and do volunteer class officer stuf - whatever that is - I dunno - give helpful advice on how to rig JC straps or check sail numbers or something like that and sign up new members and hang out with the beautiful Ribicca and look cool - then pretty soon we'll vote the happy couple joint presidents for life.
 
well, I did Finn Pre-Trials last October

and next summer, Mum and I want to go to Germany for a couple of weeks to see the family

only get one big trip/regatta a year, so we're skipping this year, and travelling next year, gotta mind our money

You didn't answer how we'd work out the Laser / Radial mismatch. Obviously this isn't going to happen and you've hijacked my Ribecca for President thread to promote your regatta. I'll allow it this time because I like you.

I sail frequently and all over, but I respect that Ross has limited funds. Besides, there's no real conflict between me and Ross. He's vying for VP and me for P. We'll be fine once he does my bidding. How about that sail number, Mr Bennett?
 
which one would you like, you've got better part of a dozen to choose from, choose wisely lol

and you always check my signature, bit of a give away! along with my YC's, where I'm from, and my blog, don't forget to stop in and leave a comment!

any chance you'll be in Orange County/SoCal any time soon?
 
the reason the sail number in my signature stays the same is because thats the current boat and sail number I'm using

so now you know my sail number, whats yours?

See, you worked it out already! And with the strong winds in the Bay often it's not that much of a mismatch. As to limited funds, it's only a day's drive up the coast for Ross and he could probably even carpool with someone else coming. Not a very compelling excuse for someone who lives in the OC and often operates on the "Just Buy a New One" platform. ;)

Now as for you, coming from a "galaxy, far far away" might be a challenge but I'm sure it's doable -- we've already got entries from Texas and the Virgin Islands (at the least you just might win the "Farthest Travelled" award). You could then run unopposed as Pres. and pick your running mate, maybe even someone better than Ross?!? Perhaps someone not as easily distracted by the sail number question? ;-) And you just might even get to see that particular sail number you're asking about in person. So Sail the PCCs and be on your way to (Laser) World Domination! I'm rooting for you.
 
...DrShmaser has nothing to do with me, and ....

Hi again,
that now I do unsterstand (? Do I, really ?). I thought that "Laser Babee" / "Rebecca" at the former website of drLaser and that Laser-Lady of the old laser.org forum have been the same person, but, "what do boys really understand"...


...Shevy, shmevy. Who gives a rat's ass what DrLaser thinks? He abandaned us. ...

But, do you know the reasons? I know some of them. Because, in 2006, I had a bit conversation with him, about why he left "us" alone.
Let me say it simple, in 3 short words: we abandaned him. This is possible to be read "between the lines" if you read all the replies of 2004 of him.

And now, it's your turn, at your side of the big pool, to find ways to bring the class up on new rails of the future. And the same for us here on the other side of the big pool and also for all of our good friends down under.

As a guest here, at TLF, I'm clever enough to remain neutral and not to prefer public more ore less any of the candidates at your region .

P.S.: At my country, in autumn, here, aft 35 years, the chairman's job of our district is vacant the first time again. I hope the young fresh blood is able to fill that job well in future. Otherwise I'm afraid, we more and more get a sort of district Laser"office"manager, than a fearless representive of the real interests of the numerous Laserites of the country I live in. So, you see, we have our own problems, too, here....



Have all a g r e a t Sunday on the water its summer here at GER, yeah! And a nice warm summerbreeze moves the boats with 30° Celsius (air) 24°Celsius (water) :) :) :)

I know you'd like to know my number because of my long blond hair and big. . .blue eyes, but my boyfriend is very jealous. Can't give that info out. But we are off topic. Maybe the Laser Savant can't figure out Tracy Usher's sail number?

Too true, Louie. I've never heard of Laser Babee until Mr Old Geezer mention it. I think you've missed that my name is Ribecca, not Rebecca. You can call me Rib, if you like.
 
Oh Rossie, if you think that I'm a good girl, you need to get out more. I'm picking up that you are a little reluctant to help me out. Does anyone else want to do my "dirty work?" ;)
 
My girl, I hate to be rude, but if you can not figure out someone's sail number though Google as I have, you are clearly not fit for the role of Class President!

VOTE FOR ME FOR ILCA PRESIDENT!!
 
Ribecca for President!

Anybody want to be my vice presidential co-runner? First person who comes up with Tracy Usher's sail number has the job.
 
now do you want to be ILCA Pres, or ILCA-NA Pres?

theres a diff girly
 
now do you want to be ILCA Pres, or ILCA-NA Pres?

Ross. Sweetie. What a silly question. You must miss me. Or maybe you don't know which body Tracy Usher is president of? You can still be my VP, mon cheri. Just toss me that sail number.
 
Tracy is "Chairman" of ILCA-NA.

I want the whole pie, I want to be Pres of ILCA
 
Ross, just so you know--didn't mean to be rude. Couldn't resist, really. I sat down and had a talk with my inner imp (or imp-ess, in this case). Seriously, what's your plan of action to be ILCA head honcho?
 
Lower part prices, especially on sails and spars. Continue to further test composite and carbon spars, sail development, rigging development (obviously!) Increase communication between board members, and District heads. And give the common member a voice. And I want do my best to make Laser sailing appeal to all, and bring membership up.
