Sorry, for all the questions but was wondering:
Would boats made for the worlds have greater potential for quality issues? I'm assuming hey have to lay up a large number in a relatively short amount of time, and the boats only need to make it through that event... Not saying anyone has any...
Also maybe sit further back. so when the gust hits the stern stays down and you get better steering response, I think daggerboard partially down also helps with steerage
I have a pair of mustos, don't wear any shorts over them and the battens are starting to wear through in three places at the tips, near the top of my thigh. --- I've only worn them about 10 times.

The laser is definitely a physical boat to sail, especially if you want to be competitive. So to compete and stay injury free, one of the biggest commitments i made is to my health and fitness. Also like you said boat speed is a big factor. if your boat handling is good and you are fit, there is...
Did you put enough soap in the water and get enough pressure from the pump?
When I tried it the first time, i didn't use enough water... I found that a thinner mix applied very liberally bubbled up easier. I also noticed that when I pulled the bike pump (nozzle wrapped in electric tape to form...
My radial bottom section is bent too, only used it about 6 times. Though i did take it out in a 30 + knot day ... Couldn't manage to keep it moving closed hauled but had some amazing reaches!
