Hi all,
It's time to start thinking about new gear for next year. Our 4 boat fleet has been well used this year as the lockdown has meant that everybody has been staying at home and sailing instread of sitting in airport lounges trying to get somewhere with cheap booze.
We might buy enough rigs so that each of the 4 boats have a Radial and a Standard rig available, eight in total
We store the rigs, battens out, sail rolled around the mast inside the club house. This means eight rigs in total. We have the money to do thi, s it's about working out the details
Booms+battens stay in the boats together with all the other parts
Two of the four boats have Holt Vangs, the other two have mixture of bits
Normally the Holt Vangs we use will be attached to the rig, if we go this route we will have to buy 6 more vangs. They will cost £160 each ($216) so make up a good chunk of our expenditure.
Bearing in mind that these Lasers are used by fairly casual Club sailors is there foolproof way detaching the vang from the rig and leaving it in the boat, saving us some money as we would only need two vangs, to complete the set for the four boats? (This will also reduce the maintenance load).
