archcat said:This happened to me once. I was so gung ho to sail in the great wind of the day, I didn't run the clue tie down threw the hook. I was taking a break after the race, just sitting there with the sail flapping away. Suddenly my sail looked like a spinniker and away I went. So make sure you run the tie down threw the hook. That's what I did till I bought the velcro strap.

The UK Laser Centre (official builders and suppliers of Laser boats in the UK) supplied me with one as part of the G-XD outhaul kit, so I hope it is!Laser of the Corn said:I'm no Laser class rules expert, however, I believe the Dorsal strap and the Rooster strap are class legal.
