On one hand the Laser class being so tightly controlled has contributed greatly to the class as a whole...
yet on the other hand we have emotions running hot over a $0.20 spring that holds a 1.5" plastic door up...
I'm pro-springs. While it's clear that they do not comply with the letter of the class rules, they do Comply with the spirit of the class rules by making a part work the way it was intended to work. I'm certain that the class rules regarding this particular part were not designed in such a way as to have the bailer only work as well as you have recently replaced the o-rings that badly support it.
Hi, I ordered the springs from Ebay yesterday. What is this big issue about ? what officials put the boats apart to see if they comply, will they cut the hull in half too, please explain it to me I am ignorant. When I race nobody bothers me with these issues.
