Hey there,
Just to be up front I am with an established marine products manufacturing company. I'm not looking to spam or promote my product and won't mention the product name or include any links unsolicited. I am just looking for some information on Lasers and One Design boats generally to determine the feasibility of a new product. I've been told by several people that this was the website to come to. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
About what ballpark percentage of Lasers out there are actually raced and stick to racing specs as opposed to Lasers used strictly for recreational/leisure use?
Are there any specific rules regarding deck covering/nonskid products? Specifically a light weight eva foam pad applied to the deck with a pressure sensitive adhesive.
I realize these are "One Design" boats but how much does hardware placement and cockpit location vary from year to year. Would a 1987 really be virtually identical to a 2000? Would it be safe to assume that a deck template I pulled from a 1998 Laser Race would match most other years? Would the cockpit cutout for instance vary more than and inch or so from one boat to the next?
Thanks, Jason
