In the Fall of this past year the Laser Class Office in England issued the first set of plaques with sail numbers over 200,000! In addition, I believe the first boats with sail numbers above this milestone have shipped and may already be sailing.
200,000 Lasers built since 1971 is certainly a momentous occasion and to help celebrate it the Laser Class (ILCA) have arranged a contest where you can win the complete Laser with sail number 200000, in the rig of your choice!
Entering the contest is simple: you need to be a Laser Class member and you need to be able to answer one simple question: who designed the Laser?
The details and entry form will be available on the international class site soon.
While only one Laser Class member will win hull #200000, runner's up will receive the rights to sail numbers 200003-200010.
Note that this is a VERY good reason to join, or renew, the Laser Class now! If you are in North American Region you can join easily online!
Its a cooperative effort, ILCA is buying boat #200000 from the builders, they are giving ILCA a special price. But, of course, it does depend on what region the winner lives in.
Hi,
although I don't think I would win anything, I have 2 questions for a better understanding:
Does ILCA guarantee the privacy of the adress and telephone informations? If I sign up to this lottery, I don't want to get advertising-calls from extern callcenters later on.
At the terms and conditions is written:
"13.The winner is responsible for collecting or transporting the boat from the manufacturer."
This means to me: extra costs to get the prize, correct (Does the prize will be delivered by the regional authorized LP Laser store or has one to manage the delivering oneself)?
I thought it's better to ask here, first. Other reader perhaps have the same questions or are not aware about those questions, I wrote. Also, as perhaps you know, I have some heavy disputes with Jeff Martin and Heini Wellman. I bet, if "I" write an email to the ILCA Office (= Jeff Martin), I never get any helpful answer. So, I thought perhaps other authorized ILCA members of the board are able to serious answer, here.
