The laser class says its one design but is it really? I mean with all the upgrades and expensive parts I dont think it can trully be classifide as a one design class anymore. I have a 1982 Laser and a limited budget, I dont want to have to buy new expensive parts to keep up with everyone else. Especially this new class sail proposal, if the standard class sail is worked well for so many years why isn't it working now? I keep my Laser as simple as I can, it takes me less than three minutes to rig it and put it in the water. With these new systems it may take upwards of 30 minutes to fully rig the boat. All the new improvments are great and all but it wont really make the laser a one design boat anymore. I think the class should keep the laser bare bones and make it the sailors sailing the boat not the technology. I personly think the class should be stricter than it is now!
