    Mark II Summary

    yeah I agree with you both though I've not been using it long. It's very messy in the light winds, I just can't get it going at all. I'm actually going to switch back to the mark I as I think it is the better all round sail!

    Mark II Standard Sail

    So what are the latest thoughts on this? If you were going upwind for a few miles in exactly the same conditions with a sailor of exactly the same quality would a new mark 2 or a new original sail pop out in front? Similarly, what would be the case downwind. The word I have heard is that the...

    Knee!!

    Hi! I dislodged my knee cap back in august and it is too painful to sail with (post physio treatment). Has anyone had a similar issue? It's at it's worst downwind when the knee is bent. Does anyone have any straps or braces they would recommend that help? Cheers

    hitting a wall

    Laser Mainsheets

    Has anyone used laser's 5.5mm mainsheet?? If so, is it manageable to use across all conditions or should it only be used in lighter winds? my 6mm has recently begun to perish and just researching before i buy a new one!! thanks

    light winds mainsheet

    If you're planning to get one, the rooster one you have mentioned is brilliant for it - if you curl up and hold the 6mm with the 7mm-8mm you really notice the difference, anal as it may seem, it makes quite a difference when running on those painful light wind days!

    Deck Cleats??

    What price would you be willing to pay

    I don't know of their charge but what region are you in? I'm in Home Counties and Eastern and it's terrible for events...15 out of 17 are inland with only about 5 or 6 competitors doing enough events to count!

    pre-bent top mast

    Hi, A master at my club reckons having a slightly bent top mast is faster in light winds but i can't figure why. I've recently bought a new one because the offending top mast seems to no longer want to bend back anymore. Whilst I know it's illegal - just wondering if anyone has any theories...
