Ross,
The day you actually win any regatta or get to the olympics, you can start worrying about the weight in the end of the boom.
Stop worrying so much about your equipment and start training.

Gawd Ross, only took a few months to get a shot of that
So you're running the standard outhaul, just you have your outhaul line longer so its inside the vang triangle. Good Idea, I might have to do that.
The JC strap. Qu'est-ce? It looks like the standard velcro strap.
Oh also, what do you use for your traveler? The blue shit that comes stock these days SUCKS.
And Purolio- I would say abut %60-70 of the regatta is won off the water. I bought a new laser in December and it's STILL not how I like it after 5 months of tuning. Every little thing can make a difference. No matter if it the local beer can series or the olympics, every ounce helps.
I have seen some people rig their outhauls on the back of the boom:
Have any of you tried this?
This is the system i use and it works really well. Also you can leave everything on the boom and unless you are a world class sailor the wieght of a couple of tiny blocks and a bit of rope are not going to make a whole lot of difference, even with a gybe i dont think the momentum of the combined wieght in the middle of the boom would be likely to have you in?! I mean, come on!!!. I took a second in my club race last week with this system ( yes Al, second that was) and first laser to finish (yes Al, first laser to finish). I would go with this system.
That's exactly what my set up looks like. The purchase (my secondary) may be a bit shorter, bout other than that it's the exact same.
Wicked system
Get an inhaul rigged dude!
I also prefer having my outhaul on my port side so when I round the windward, my cunningham is in a more convenient spot in case i need to pop it manually.
instead of the line at the end of the boom going through the clue, could you still have a shakle there?
We'll see what results are posted! (Rule 41 ) And if you beat me, how come I had Kermit up on the beach and de-rigged before you got Goose ashore?
Anyway, I'm celebrating cos every Alby was behind me all night (and the Wayfarer too)!
Mind you, leading Laser isn't much of a boast when Al sailing Kermit was the only class competition! How would you have done if Surgical Steve had been sailing???
You are saved from pic duty

Also, I'm guessing your running 2 to 1 on you Cunningham?
