FH, you seem to have a strange obsession about capsizes and loose masts. Or at least, in this case, you're mistaking the Laser 2 for a Sunfish.Secondary is the mast coming off and needing to dive for it
I can't see how the mast could drop out. It's well attached to the boat (shrouds, forestay, etc.) so for it to "drop out and having to dive for it" would require so many wires to break....

Can you explain in great detail how you attach this mast float to the mast, I bought one these floats but there is nothing to tie it to at the top of the mast and I cannot see how you have done it in your photos. ThanksJust thought I'd add to the sum of human happiness.
Laser 2 works well with just the mainsail up. Kicker tension/vang tension is critical, a nice loose leech with the tell tale on the top batten flying all the time works well and means that the boat goes fast. If you tighten the vang too much the weather helm increses and it slows down a lot. Make sure that you are sheeting from the centre line not like a Laser standard, otherwise you will have too much leech tension. Boom over corner of boat going to windward just like a Laser Standard. It's like having a cheap Contender.
Ive attached some pics of the mast head float we use. Looks a little strange but solves so amny problems.
