74kgs is fine, but I recon 72kg would be better. ;) 160lb is 72.5kgs.

Fit springs, not sure if they're class legal though. Had mine on for a year so far and they still work perfectly.

Use white gloss car topcoat refinishing spray, you can get it at any car shop and finishes just like the original paint. L

you sure?? Im pretty certain stretching before exercise has been proven to decrease maximum muscular output and is therfore best done after exercise opposed to before. A warm muscle is less likely to be torn/pulled than a cold one, hence warming up is likely to reduce the risk of injury.. A...

420 (spinny and trap) with 2 laser sailors in 30+knts is more fun than a laser in those conditions;)

I recon my centreboard has worn down the front of my case, does anyone know whether my boat would be class legal ir i out a small amount of epoxy at the front of the case?? or is tape the only thing allowed? L

Boats with jibs that dont go to the top of the mast have loads of twist in the sail above the point where the jib attatches to the mast. This is because the Jib directs the airflow around the sail.

I think u'd be fine doing it in a 200, wayfarers have crossed the north sea before. All u need is a nice summers day, northely westerly force 2-3, and u can carry the kite all the way. Two large laser sailors would be fine, optimum weight for a 200 is 21stone, so if both of u weighed 13 stone, u...
