    Temporary storage at cottage

    Yes, rest of the sail is under the deck cover. If you find it in white, it will last longer.

    Deck softening

    It's delaminating. The fiberglass is separating from the foam. Try not to sit in that area.

    Do Laser courses suck?

    I love a windy reach but I love a downwind even more. I sailed in the 70s and early 80s and then stopped until 2010; the new downwind technique is so much fun and more challenging than a reach. Give it a try; you'll get hooked for sure.

    Cut lower Mast to make a radial mast----

    Torrid, have you tried it? I have; I sailed quite a bit with a cut off standard mast. A proper radial section works better of course but I didn't think we were talking racing. For playing around a cut off standard section works fine. Save your money and go sailing. E

    Cut lower Mast to make a radial mast----

    Yes, tried it. Not much harder to sheet in. Added advantage, your bottom section will not permanently bend.
