Are you using replica sails?

[Markus]

Caused by recent problems with my new replica sail (Creases Crisis

)I am wondering if I am the only one using a replica. If you own one, what was the manufacturer?

replica sails are pretty much impossible to get in australia. so i naturally dont have one

i wouldnt buy one anyway unless it was less than half the price of a new original one

I work for a vanguard dealer so I can get sails cheap . No need to go for the replicas. I don't think I would use one anyway. I like to practice with what I am going to race with.

Hey, I work for a Vanguard dealer too but I certainly wouldn't call them cheap! Nonetheless, it still beats retail price.

Nothing like getting all of your laser parts at cost!

You are right, the still are not cheap though.

I am sailing the lasder just for fun and I always got used legal sails. Now I wanted improve and bought a new one. I voted in favour of a replica because of the costs. A roostersailing replica comes for 294 and a folded legal sail 545 Euros. Quite an easy decission ...
