Is the C-Vane "allowed" in races ?

C-Vane for the Sunfish®

How is it that none of the UK Olympic movie clips shows anyone using their device ?
I sail a 50th anniversary version in Noyac, NY. The sail is "fatigued" and I have difficulty to feel the groove.
Maybe a new sail would be more useful ... ?

Yes it is allowed. I don't know what windvanes Olympic Laser sailors prefer.

A new sail would likely make more difference than a windvane if you are racing - especially since the 50th Anniversary sail is not the race cut.

There is a wind indicator on this one. Beldar is correct on a new sail.
