Answer is: your next move is to post pictures of your vang and cunningham systems, and of the "bagginess" of your sailQuestion is: what is my next move?
Ok, sounds like what we all had in 2001The "systems" are just line, with some purchase added with bowlines. e.g. a 6:1 on the cunningham and an 8:1 on the kicker.
Ok. Well, you have the cunningham Clamcleat there, and for recreational-only sailing, the outhaul doesn't need to be led to the deck. At this stage, you simply don't need to adjust it very often.I was actually referring to the cleats for downhaul and outhaul...
Just repeating: the only thing on your boat (that has come up so far) which needs immediate upgrading is the tiller extension, because that's something that directly affects how you sail the boat. You can get away with fairly clunky control systems as long as their range of adjustment is adequate. And the condition of your sail doesn't matter much until you start racing.Sounds like getting a vang system and an OH/DH system are a good place to start (plus tiller). and a sail...
I have occasionally sailed Lasers with the "old" Allen vang cleat block in later years, and I've thought they worked quite nicelyA few years ago I rented a Laser with a classic vang at a vacation place and although I could tighten the vang, it was very hard to loosen it.
