    New Sheaveless Block. Class Legal?

    My West Marine catalog came in a little while ago and these (http://www.murrays.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=21-8080&Category_Code=D-MO&Store_Code=MS) caught my interest. I was wondering if these would be class legal?

For years now people have trudged on with this same terrible Laser sail. Now of course they haven't used the same...

    Wondering if inspection port speakers would be possible?

    I would love to have speakers on my Laser but theres no really creative or permanent solution. People have designed the Bottleport and the Fat Bag to work with or as an inspection port. It would be awesome to have speakers as an inspection port and then maybe the iPod could go in a Fat Bag below...
