Hi,
I'm looking at getting a new sail but the class legal ILCA sail for the standard is £550 and some replicas are as low as £200! Does anyone know if there is any performance difference between the genuine ILCA sails and the replicas? Also, who does the best replica?
I would pay the extra...
Hi all,
Just wondered what the general consensus is about the carbon mast and whether it is lighter/faster than the old version?
Any thoughts before i splash some cash?
Cheers!
Lali I think you need to relax. It's more about getting numbers on the water than getting giddy over whether their gear is not quite acceptable or not. Personally all my gear is legal but I don't get upset with anyone who's gear isn't. Maybe they can't afford to pay double for everything after all.
Of course it does Lali. Most clubs in UK just accept the 'practice' sails for racing because it is more important to have more numbers on the water rather than tell people to stay at home because they are fake laser sailors lolz.
Hi,
I'm struggling to find a new road base in the UK. Preferably not the wide one (as they are just too wide). Does anyone have any links as I'm struggling to find anything?
Thanks,
Hi all,
I have a laser but i'm looking to get one of the above as well. I will keep the laser for sure!
Just wondered is anyone knows what is the easier boat to get to grips with. Taking money out of it completely here.....Laser sailors seems to transition reasonably well into moths but I...
Hi,
Does anyone know where the medal races for 2008 are online? The Finn race was excellent to watch but I can't see it anywhere. Laser race was pretty light from memory.
Cheers
Hi all,
I'm chuffed there's a thread on this! I've just been diagnosed with an inguinal hernia but am now waiting 4 weeks before seeing the specialist. The GP reckons i'm fine to crack on as I am (unless it hurts) but it's difficult to convey how much stress a breezy sail can cause when hiking...
Hi all,
Do you think the ideal weight has moved up with the new Mark 2 sail? I've heard some people say you need to be heavier than the standard go to weight of 80kg. Thoughts?
I've sailed this for a while now and my conclusions are:
Below 8 knots: it is slower than Mark I
8-12 knots: it is the same as mark I
12 knots +: it is faster that mark I
Keeping it simple that's where I think it pitches but would love any other feedback....
