two things one
the picture is paul goodison (as i don't yet have a pic of me sailing at 40kts) lol
and i see your point, i must not have the correct outhaul purchase as i have not checked it i left it the same when i brought the boat.
any ideas where to fing the maximum outhaul puechase that is legal for a laser (a link would be nice).
Here is one on the rooster australia site, I don't know why its not on the main Rooster site or maybe I have missed it.

Basically stock vang, cunningham is 2 double blocks, 10:1 i think and i think this is stock on lasers in US
Outhaul is main line through clew block, through fairlead on end of boom and then has 2 double blocks.
This setup is max purchase for everything, however weigh up what system you want as the more purchase the more line in the cockpit and you may not need lots of purchase if you are a heavyweight.
Some other sites:

Fred's page - http://www.schrothfiberglass.com/RiggingforLaser.htm
and also - http://www.wvaegir.nl/newrig_2.html
check all these out and some of the other sailors at your club and then go get some line and blocks and set it up.
I'd like to see a pic of anyone sailing a laser in 40 knots.
