This is a piece which was published on the front page of the Association France Laser web site in March 2020. It was written by a Grand Master Gilles Gluck. It is 20 pages long and talks about how the Laser arrived in Europe and why it took off before looking at the many changes which have taken...
Could I make a Laero by putting an Aero 7 rig on a Laser?
Would it sail properly and be correctly balanced?
Or should I just buy an ARC2 as I will be too old to sail by the time the C rigs are available?
Does anyone know how much each National Association contributes to ILCA per National Association member?
I seem to recall a figure of about $25 but that would be nearly 50% of National Subs.
I found this link to a report on the EurILCA EAGM. If it is accurate it would seem that the majority of the European Regions do not wish to maintain the existing relationship with ILCA, 14 voted in favour of change and 11 against. But, because the result on the way forward was split, they are...

Which type of pad do sailors feel is best?
I ask because I think the new style pad may have stressed the board on my old 200000 boat and I had to repair board at the point where the pad sits when the board is fully down. The board is the new glass type.
My new boat has come out of the factory...
The Olympics are over for another four years and all the Laser Championships are nearly finished. It would seem to be the ideal time to release the composite top section.
Does anyone have any idea if this is going to happen soon?
