Later this week, LaserPerformance will be officially announcing LaserPerformance United (LPU), a dinghy sailing community to support all levels of dinghy sailors worldwide but in the meantime we want to get our fans as excited as we are about this new global program.
One of the first unions to be offered as part of LaserPerformance United will be the International Sunfish Union (ISU). The Sunfish is an amazing class because it has such a rich heritage and diverse group of sailors. The ISU will be a way to connect, unite and support Sunfish sailors of all kinds from all over the world. We encourage Sunfish sailors to share the word and check back later this week when we will have more information about how to join and take advantage of benefits.
The goal of LaserPerformance United IS to create a community for all LaserPerformance boat owners. One of the first unions will be for the Sunfish but we will be announcing more in the upcoming days and weeks. Stay patient and thanks for your interest!
The objective of LaserPerformance United and its unions is to support and unite the global sailing community. We want to support and serve sailors everywhere so that they may enjoy the passion of sailing to the fullest.
Sailors from around the world can become a part of this supportive, uniting community of dinghy sailors. LPU will offer benefits and support for sailors including:
• Website
• Owner’s forum
• Merchandise
• Product Assistance Program
• Expert advise
• More exclusive deals and benefits
Check back for more updates about LPU tomorrow!
Dame Agatha doesn't really fancy sailing she told me in a dream, but Hercule Poirot surmises that the fuss on FB is related to the upcoming June 30 deadline to apply for sponsorship from Maclaren.Agatha Christie: please check in to resolve these mysteries.
Many organizing authorities in the sailing world currently support, almost exclusively, sailors at the top tier of racing. LaserPerformance is committed to the inclusive support of all dinghy sailors worldwide through its development of LaserPerformance United.
LPU members will have exclusive access to any product promotions and sales specials sponsored by LaserPerformance.
Gees, last year the ILCA was trying to make out the PSA/Global Sailing were the bad boys.
Taunting all the way!!!
But I don't think the ILCA has a chance against any well funded builder who wants ILCA gone.
Not sure about NA but the ILCA newsletters are available here.Are the current newsletters still published on NA class website? I'm able to log in, but can only find links to past issues.
60 thousand pounds (?) for some really bad legal advice... Remember the vote on the Fundamental Rule? Ouch!Yes, I was quite pleased to read this newsletter.

Not a feather on Heini's cap IMHO.

With that off my chest, let's return to the topic of this thread
I typed in my my info, but I'm not sure if it went through. The screen seemed to lock up.
For club affiliation, I listed "ILCA-NA".
Did any of you who signed up for LPU/ILU start receiving emails from some outfit called "The Clymb"? It's some sort of online outdoors apparel and equipment retailer.
