Because you are unless you're sailing portsmouth or some other handicap system that actually has a number for the rooster rig. Remember, most handicap systems, (like PHRF and Portsmouth) ratings are based on a boat sailing in it's OD configuration. Most have adjustments for things like oversized headsails, spin poles and such, but that typically applies to keel boats.I still get called a cheat for using a rooster 8.1 rig in light airs.
Every line on a Laser has to be of uniform thickness... except at a splice. The length of a legal splice isn’t given, but it obviously shouldn’t include any ”extra” tapering. Likewise, you can’t have an extra connecting line like Pierson has But it all looks like a fun exercise anywayThe rules for mainsheet are that It has to be uniform diameter so as long as it meets that standard
How do you know? Have you been out sailing "head to head" with class legal lasers that are skippered by equal or more skilled skippers?And yes, it makes the boat faster.
