    Laser Cunningham & Outhaul kit

    a weight vest would be illegal unless it weighed about nothing. the RRS says that your clothing could be weighed and subject to you being disqualified if they are a little too heavy. and also you would kill your back.

    Are foils made of Ozonlynium superior to others?

    af far as foils go its the shape that give it their efficiency. as long as they are the same shape they should be just the same. that being said you would want whatever is light as possible but lasers being a one design they should all weigh the same. so any one in NA just save your cash and...

    Vang Help!!

    what i do is and this works for radial and full rig but remember that radials have a tighter leach built into the sail. rig up your boat and push down on the boom so its 90 degrees to the mast. tie the boomvang so that is the max off. make sure you tie it off so that you have the most amount of...
