    Class Politics New standard sail

    Actually, for the Winter of 2009-2010, Newport averaged 25 participants per day, while CPYC averaged 32! I have just heard that the CPYC Fleet voted, by a margin of 50 to 3, to allow Intensity sails going forward. So, this is what the largest and most active Laser Fleet in the world is...

    best way to store a sail

    Why has nobody picked up on the basic problem with the original question? "I should have asked this before storing them away all winter ..........." The winter is the BEST time to sail Lasers! I knew this to be true long before I moved from CT to FL.
