Hull aeration hole ?

I read in a book (I don't remember which one) that there is a hull aeration near the hiking strap holder, is that true ? and since when ? My boat is not here so I can't check.
 
Yes, I believe all Lasers have the small hole under the hiking strap. My recent convenience sampling of all lasers in my yard showed that of that population, all had the aeration hole. Boats surveyed included a 71, 82, 84, and a 95 hull

I 100% concur to your opinion. In addition: 1 photo :)

Its purpose is to keep the hull from exploding! Really. When the boat is sitting in the heat onshore, it allows the expanding hot air in the hull to escape, rather than popping the hull apart.
