Even more fun
I came back to sailing after a 25 yrs hiatus; last January I bought a Laser and have been sailing it all year.
Having a blast. LOVE the new controls.
Few more improvements I would love to see:
1- Allow a bungee cord running from the vang to the bow eye on both sides of the mast to keep the boom out in light air (like the Finns). This would have the added advantage of letting us use a shorter mainsheet and having less of a mess in the cockpit.
2- Put a sleeve in the top mast. Booms used to break all the time, now they don't. Since January I broke a top mast and bent the new one twice.
I would like to propose these rule changes but first I need to hear your opinions.
Thanks
