Goodbye bottom section
yesterday my standard bottom section finally succumbed to its old age and snapped. i was sailing downwind and the boat got the rolls. she heeled over to windward and i dived across to save it and then wondered why it came back up so easily.
luckily is was only training and there was a laser dealer up the road. organised a new section while everyone was having lunch and i was back on the water 30 mins after everyone else.
new section is much lighter than the old one and feels like it bends alot more. havent noticed any loss in height but my acceleration feels much better in the gusts
