New Sail Question

My amazing wife just surprised me with a new sail for my b-day! Being new to the class, I'm wondering if my new Laser sail should have come with battens and numbers?

For Sail numbers I don't know, depends on where you got it from. Battens I don't think so.

From memory when you buy a Laser sail, that is what you get a sail (and possibly a bag).

Numbers, battens and a long bag 9for storing it rolled) are all extra!

When I got my Radial sail (just over a year ago) from Laser UK it came (folded) with battens but without sail numbers (or rather I had to order and pay for them as additional items.

A new sail only comes with a sail bag. Some dealers trying to obtain a bigger market share will provide extras such as battens and/or sail numbers, sometimes the sail numbers are already on the sail for you.

So what's the most expensive part of the sail? I think it must be the button.

Thanks for all the replies!

Check out some of the threads on replica/non-class-legal sails. You'll be suprised just how right you are.

The sail comes with a sail bag and tell-tales, no battens.

A few of us provide the sail numbers (and installation) for free.
