Hey guys, I have been wanting to get into laser sailing competitively for a while now (I sailed in a laser program last year, but can no longer do it without a boat) and I was able to buy a 2000 laser standard (at least I think so) and I had a few questions on rigging, and what type of boat I actually have (I know that I have a laser hull, standard sail, and standard lower mast). On every boat I have seen so far, including the one I sailed, the rigging looks like this:
However, my boat did not come with any of these blocks and instead looks like this:
My question is, what type of laser do I have? What was it originally sold as? I can't seem to find any other lasers like mine online except for this one picture
Also, would it be cost efficient for me to just sell this boat and buy a different one more rigged for racing, or upgrade this one to laser xd specs? (I got the boat for $500 but it needs ~$200 in parts) Is the difference between this rigging and the xd or race rigging really that much?
Thanks
