Check it over carefully though as the worlds boats do tend to get hammered!
I had a look at the protests on the Worlds website, there were a number of Requests for Redress because the toe straps pulled out, I presume from the rear fixing. Something to beware.
Oh the joys of sailing a one design boat, all the same. Not.
Nope. It was the mainsheet block end that was ripping out.
Also, don't be fooled by the increased amount of incidences at World's. You have to remember that there are ~180 consecutively produced boats at the event. There are bound to be a few with issues.
I'm sure if you collected ~180 boats from other people, there would be a few with issues. How many of those ~180 would be sailed as hard as the ones at World's? few, if any.
Even if 4 had the blocks rip out (I think it was 3 or 4, maybe 5, can't remember exactly), that's only 7.2%.
Oh the joys of sailing a one design boat, all the same. Not.
Using 4 as the number with which to find the percentage: 180x0.04=7.2%
that should be: (4/180)x100=2.2%, but looking at your avatar picture I can reconsider the calculation

What wrong with my av? Don't be a prejudging dick.
Pretty big math fail on my part, but then again, that's the story of my academic life.

Just look at the smiley at the end. It was a lighthearted comment. But from your response I can appreciate the meaning you took - and now I expect to have the insults thrown my way !!

Mean alert! I thought Pif (the dog)'s comment was meant in humor, and it was CUTE. You don't have to do cute, Shatty, but stop being so defensive. You yourself have said you've been misunderstood when you've tried humor here.
I never trust the smileys.
Êtes-vous bilingue?
Rough morning. Cat puking everywhere, military medicals and interview, other errands.
Now that's funny.
Sur un peu. Tres peu. See, not even the little mark over the "e" in "tres."
Sounds like kitty needs a medical, too. You joining the service?
If the Laser Race and the Laser XD were both new would it then be worth the extra $$ for the XD ?
