Q.E.D.

None of the builders had the foresight to grab an old Laser mould out of the backyard and present a 32kg epoxy sandwich Laser with a newly developed rig at the upcoming trials. It would have been a serious contender.

My seventies Laser had large Styrofoam blocks inside the hull, neatly packaged in plastic film so they would not soak up 5 litres of water before the dealer got his money.

Many compass watches allowed under 22(d) have a heart rate monitor connection function as well and thus make it possible to illegally check heart rate while racing. Maybe one should not take off his rash vest under the watchful eye of the Executive Secretary Emeritus ;)

Sorry, hope this works:

Does rule 22 allow the use of a heart rate monitor during racing? (Watch Kontides interview at 00:44 and 03:24.)

True, the youngsters are the future of our sport. But they need and deserve "real sport", not some watered down version so their folks can go wine tasting. Funny, there is a famous and very demanding mountain bike race over four days in our area every year. Start at 7 in the morning, then...

Some race organisers take an increasingly soft approach in running Laser events. I just had such an experience at our last State Championship with six races planned over a long weekend. Not only was the start time set at 1400 during the peak UV exposure but also at a time when traditionally no...

The Star class had a system of "districts" which did not care about national boundaries, at least in Europe, and some sailors in the class even developed "District Pride". Very refreshing in an increasingly nationalistic world.

We just had our Western Australian State Championship in very light winds (up to 10 knots) and the Mark II performed very well. Most master sailors, except me, had the new sail and I was definitely underpowered going upwind. Downwind I did not notice much difference. The problems with the Mark...

Does anyone have experience with the new standard sail? Will it be only dis-allowed in World-Cup events, Worlds and Olympics? What about Masters Worlds?

Thats what the Torch is all about. Old guys kikkking ass. On ya Bruce

Why not ship a container load of Lasers from Europe or the US to Australia? The high Ozzy dollar would make this a worthwhile proposition. Funnily this does not happen, rather the other way around. Why?

No Bunnies over here since the introduced rabbit devastated the country. We got the "Easter Bilby". Pairing up competitors on Saturday is fine by me as long as it is with one of those fit Radial sailoresses you got in your country. Randomly would be ok.

I am a Grand Master sailing out of Geographe Bay Yacht Club in Busselton. I am keen to go sailing once or twice a week. We got two Lasers racing at the moment with the odd visitor coming down from Perth. Last weekend multiple Masters World champ Colin Dibb came down from Freo. Busselton is...

Many Australian master sailors are expected to go to Nova Scotia in 2009 to participate at the upcoming world championships. Here are some local tips for budget accommodation: http://www.primitiveways.com/igloo.html

If the new composite top gets introduced in the near future, I should still be able to use my old aluminium top and race it at international regattas. If that composite top is softer, or in any other way inferior to the old aluminum top for a heavy sailor, then what??.... Will all new Lasers...
