So basically any boat as long as it has the ISAF sticker is ILCA legal. I wouldn't be buying one of those for my son at this point so I don't need to worry about it.
Thanks for the easy answer.
I've got one older Laser and I'm looking at buying another older boat for my kid to knock around... If he were to decide to race, is the boat legal or is it not?
Thanks.

here you go. pretty complete explanation of the MC. your vang might still be the old style with the aluminum triangle rather than the cascading system, feel free to message me if that's the case and i can explain how to rig that.
Thanks for all the info guys and gals. Really the question was nothing more than to occupy my mind as I watch it snow here in the Upper Mindwest, USA.
SailingMania and AlanD, you guys make very good points, of course I don't race on that level, I don't even race Lasers full time. For...
I'm sure most will think this is a silly question but I suppose I'll ask anyway: Have we hit hull # 200,000? I don't race much (once a year at best) in the Laser and have yet to see one. Just curious. Thanks.

Look at those sails side by side. I don't think the North submission is all that much an improvement from the current. The Hyde on the other hand really addresses the problems of the sail.
Assuming the Hyde sail performs just like the current class legal sail and improves it's durability...
I agree with Yellow that it may be worth the wait for the '09-'12 rulebook to come out. It should be published and distributed this fall I would expect.
At that time get the rulebook itself and Dave Perry's latest book explaining the rules (i'm sure it'll be out about the same time)
Could someone please repost the pics of the "experimental" sail that was used/shown at the worlds... For some reason I don't seem to be very good with the search function.
Thanks.
When I was younger I had a real problem biting my tough when things got close and tough and on many more than one occasion lashed out at other competitors or my crew (depending on what boat I was sailing). I was finally approached by a coach from another team that I greatly respected, he said...
