Laser Class implodes!
The world’s largest Olympic sailing class has committed suicide with a rare form of self-cannibalism. It started with the two builders, who could not agree on whether to triple the price for the existing sail or continue releasing new “but not improved”...
It seems like it's been 6 months or so since we last brought up the subject of improving the full rig sail - Any progress reports ? What's currently being tested/developed and what is the timetable to get to the point where we, the class members, would have a longer lasting sail in our hands ?
Now is not the time to put the hull and spars away, find a frostbite fleet near you and get out sailing. The powerboats and jets skis are gone and the sailing is just getting good. Nothing nearby ? Grab a couple buddies and start something..
If you are anywhere near Westport, CT, come join us...

I've modified...
Our Finn pals can get pretty crafty when it comes to moving their boats (a fully rigged Finn is just over 300 lbs), so when I saw this double trailer rig, where you can singlehandedly load/unload the upper boat, I thought it might be worthwhile for people here to take a look.

If the following accomplishement doesn't represent dedication, perseverance, competitiveness and loyalty (just a few adjectives that apply) I don't know what would.

While looking at the US Sailing prescriptions for life jackets, I came across this:
Rule 75.3 Add rule 75.3
75.3 US SAILING prescribes that the organizing authority shall not require a competitor to assume any liabilities of the organizing authority, race committee, protest committee, host...
Trying to guage how many people would be interested in going in on a group purchase of 8mm Bzzz line (8mm is just a touch larger then the 7mm Rooster line and provides more comfort to the hands when the breeze is above 10 kts)
The cost per 46' would be $25 including ground shipping in the 48...
