Greetings. You may be interested in my 10 comments on the ILCA statement on new rigs. Your comments are most welcome
Laser Class Statement on the Development of New Rigs: 10 Comments - Optimist, Open Bic, Youth & Olympic Sailing Blog
9. The lack of knowledge by ILCA of what Laser Performance does is a bit surprising. Why such a close relationship with the Australian class and the Australian manufacturer, and apparently no clue what Laser Performance - by far the dominant producer of Lasers - is doing in terms of rig development? It seems that there was a missed opportunity to get everybody to work together for the future of the Laser. Instead, there are disparate, competing initiatives, which may actually not bring about the desired outcomes.
This is not that surprising to me. There has been constant drama between the class, LP, PSA, and Bruce Kirby for what, close to ten years now? There will never be a Kumbaya moment among all the stakeholders as long as LP remains in the hands of the current owner.
I just watched this live, but there wasn't much new to discuss in relation to the "C" rigs. ILCA is actually probably doing a good job of not pushing the new rigs too fast, while LP is doing what LP does - that is, not being very cooperative with anybody.I will discuss the Laser, sea trials, 2024 Olympics, etc today at 4 PM EST -- on Sailing Illustrated.
I am one of them, but this was watchable without signing in.Many of us don't 'do' Facebook...
(This is off-topic for this thread, but really, it's almost amusing to see how hard it seems for some that the Finn is dropping out of the Olympics. Weren't eighteen consecutive games enough?)
