Okay I have a silly question... I am talking to someone who has a laser for sale, but they don't know anything about lasers. I need to know on sight if it is a standard rig or not. What are the dimensions of a standard sail ( as opposed to 4.7 or radial)? I realize that the standard sail is 76 square feet, but I can't find the dimensions anywhere. Thank you.
 
Leech length on standard sail = 5570mm
Radial leech is 5010

Radial mast bottom section is 2262

Full measurment diagrams at ILCA web site
 
Can't you just look at the sail window and Panel shapes ? Full rig the window is narrower at front and for the radial its reversed. Radial sail all the panels/seams taper down to meet at the clew.
 
Sorry, being the novice that I am the obvious didn't occure to me. This will be my first Laser. I just can't wait to get it into the water. Thank you.
 
I know this is now a dead string but the Laser symbol (Starburst whatever) the Full rig is angled up parallel to the seams. The Radial is parrallel to the foot or boom. Let your race comittees know in mixed fleet finishes.
