Hi All!
Well, I have always sailed Lasers but have been 'out of the loop' for a year and am blown away whilst looking at new gear. Havnt had to do it for awhile so am stumped. I have tried to research this but still have some concerns, which I might have the right answer for already, but want to confirm before I spend $$$.
I am getting back into Laser's and want to use an older Laser (165XXX) I have for a year before upgrading.
Questions:
- I have found new 'Laser' sails which are significantly cheaper than ILCA ones. Are they still okay and can be raced with? What about the masts?
- Laser Performance UK is no longer certified it seems (?). Their new boats are SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than ILCA ones. Guessing that's because they cant be used in official races?
Thanks all, sorry for the bother!
