yeah I agree with you both though I've not been using it long. It's very messy in the light winds, I just can't get it going at all. I'm actually going to switch back to the mark I as I think it is the better all round sail!
Hi everyone,
I need to get a new sail in the near future and am keen to know what people's opinions are of the new standard sail over the old cut. is there a performance difference in light winds, heavy winds etc.?
I have heard it is faster in the breeze but slower in light winds.
Any...
So what are the latest thoughts on this? If you were going upwind for a few miles in exactly the same conditions with a sailor of exactly the same quality would a new mark 2 or a new original sail pop out in front? Similarly, what would be the case downwind.
The word I have heard is that the...
Hi!
I dislodged my knee cap back in august and it is too painful to sail with (post physio treatment).
Has anyone had a similar issue? It's at it's worst downwind when the knee is bent.
Does anyone have any straps or braces they would recommend that help?
Cheers
Hi all,
I have seen that there is a new centre plate on the laser performance website with GRP slogan on. Has anyone got this plate. I am considering buying a new one and just wondering if this is any better/worse.
thanks
as much as i like rooster i have to say the quality of the classics is now pretty poor. as i can't see beyond the classics i have now bought 3 pairs over 2 seasons!! riiight mug i know but i have rooster blinkers.
it's now got to the point where i'm wearing something under the hikers through...
thanks for the tips!! i also thought doing a few more opens to throw myself out of the comfort zone would help and it has really rekindled my zest to be at the top of the fleet!!
Hi All,
I race regularly but for the last year I really doubt I have made any improvement at all which is frustrating me more and more. has anybody else ever hit a point like this and if so what did you do/what should i do to get over it????
Thanks
Has anyone used laser's 5.5mm mainsheet?? If so, is it manageable to use across all conditions or should it only be used in lighter winds? my 6mm has recently begun to perish and just researching before i buy a new one!!
thanks
If you're planning to get one, the rooster one you have mentioned is brilliant for it - if you curl up and hold the 6mm with the 7mm-8mm you really notice the difference, anal as it may seem, it makes quite a difference when running on those painful light wind days!
I don't know of their charge but what region are you in? I'm in Home Counties and Eastern and it's terrible for events...15 out of 17 are inland with only about 5 or 6 competitors doing enough events to count!
Hi,
A master at my club reckons having a slightly bent top mast is faster in light winds but i can't figure why. I've recently bought a new one because the offending top mast seems to no longer want to bend back anymore.
Whilst I know it's illegal - just wondering if anyone has any theories...
