I read it as class compliant to The Laser Class. Probably not class compliant to the ILCA class

There should be the word step after first mast. Won’t let me edit ie between mast step and mast as well as inside mast. There is a drain hole in bottom mast plug

Maybe try pouring washing up liquid down both mast and inside mast then use boom to try small rotation of mast

Pretty obvious to me. Road base is the trailer part of a combi trailer. You load the boat and trolley (dolly to you foreigners) on to the base trailer. It normally has just a roller at the back that the trolley slides up

If it was being reviewed 12 years ago why was it never allowed or voted on!

Are you sure it’s legal? With the rotating beads added you surprise me. It looks to be an elegant solution but I am surprise if it’s allowed

That should read heeling moment

Note also World Sailing day Laser Dinghy. Doesn’t this mean they have to be built by a Laser trade mark holder regardless of the vote just passed that should allow mon trade mark holders to build ILCA approved Dinghies. Have we just been sc****d by World Sailing again

Shouldn’t Sailcentre be sending out replacement booms with correct width straps. Shouldn’t be down to purchasers to correct this error

Mine meets rules, but then when I replaced metal strap that was designed to either catch on your life jacket when tacking obviously I checked rules to make sure it complied

Rules state “18. BOOM (a) A metal sleeve supplied by the builder of maximum length 900 mm may be fixed inside the boom . The sleeve shall not extend aft of the point 1220 mm from the front end of the boom (including plug) . (b) The stainless steel mainsheet eye strap between the two blocks on...

Correct

I did say for new trailers. Trailers built before the date that the new rules came in can still be used with a trailer board mounted on boat transom

I don’t believe Trailer board attached to gudgeons is legal in Europe for new trailers. They have number plate mounted on sliding extension bars as part of trailer which you extend to be behind any load on the trailer
