Our business has been selling the Laser/ILCA since the second year of production...and we've seen it all. The original vang tang on the mast had the 3/16" hole for attachment. Now with the new vang arrangement all boats have a 1/4" hole in the vang tang. Just drill it out on the old mast...
I suppose you could trim the end of the spreader off to you desired length at the end closest to the mast and machine your holes how you want being careful to leave enough material outside the hole so the hole does not tear out from the pressure.
Yes, has the orange button, The red sailmakers insignia also has the serial number of the sail, 4.5/class legal, etc.
not the Intensity or other knock offs.
If you have not purchased so far we have several new MKII sails with the classic Laser starburst, Back when LP was forcing dealers to buy 10 at a time...anyway the retail is $530/sail, batten sets $45. Plus shipping, and if in Michigan sales tax. Midwest sailing, Michigan. Rick at [email protected]
