Hi All;
This is my first post on this forum. I recently bought a used standard Laser and intend to race it. I used this forum to research what to look for when looking at used Lasers and found the information extremely useful - - thanks everyone.
I have been religiously reading the rules on the ILRA website. I fully agree with the philosophy of this class and want to be legal.
I have a question about the mainsheet block just behind the daggerboard. After seeing the following statement in the rules under section 1 (c)
" iii. The mainsheet block may be replaced by any
type of single block with or without an internal or
attached jamming device, and mounted in the
position shown on the measurement diagram.
The block may be supported by a spring, ball,
plastic tube or tape."
Does that mean that I can use a device such as the Harken H205 "Harken Cam Cleat Swivel Arm Base" along with the standard mainsheet block, as long as it is mounted in exactly the same place as the original? It sure sounds like it would be allowed according to rule 1 (c) iii. If this is not legal, then please explain how I am mis-interpreting this rule.
In the past, I had a similar device on my FJ and found it really useful at times.
Thanks
