Hi all.
My Laser has been trouble free-for a while now, apart from the tendancy to tip me into the water without warning occasionally....! However, I've recently hit the problem that my outhaul primary line (I think that's what it's called - the one I don't touch) keeps jamming in the tiny gap between the boom and the fairlead.
I'm using a really thin grey line that I got from Rooster (in their outhaul kit). The fairlead is blue plastic, with a flat bottom, so it does not match the curve of the boom.
I'm after any advice going...?
My main questions are:
Any top tips?
Is it class legal to use a fairlead with a metal ring inside for this application? - That would totally solve the problem.
Is there a fairlead with a curved bottom surface to marry better with the boom?
I've checked the Laser online shop, but it all looks exactly like the fitting I already have.
Cheers.
