As a recreational Laser sailor, how important do you think the redesigned outhaul is? The new vang is great and the cunningham is good too but I don't see making many adjustments with the outhaul. Remember, recreational sailor, not a racer. Also, on my 2004 Laser, near the pin for holding in the tiller, I have a small (approx. 1/2" dia.) circular metal wire piece attached to the tiller by a thin black line. I have no idea what it is.
