Clay Johnstone? You mean Clay Johnson?
Methinks Global Sailing is waging a PR campaign.
Are you sure even with the carbon, or is it engineered so it just retains shape longer?The masts aren't any stiffer.
Well, what have you personally done to get things officially changed. It's all very well whinging that the you think this should happen or that should happen, but unless someone takes the initiave and puts a submission to the ILCA nothing will happen, the best person to put forward the initiative is the person who wants the changes. Get off your a*** and do something about it.I agree, Laser class needs to approve some other manufacturers, How much difference is 2 loops on a toestrap and 3rd party boom blocks really going to make?
Definitely legal. If they went onto the water with a bent mast, then that is illegal.Would the measurer approve this?
We have no more say than you do. So what have you done in getting rid of the most obvious builder problems i.e. masts bending, bump in hull etc?And Alan.. I know the measureres only do what they are told to do i.e. measure according to class rules - but a little help from you guys in getting rid of the most obvious builder problems i.e. masts bending, bump in hull etc. could only help.
