This is a piece which was published on the front page of the Association France Laser web site in March 2020. It was written by a Grand Master Gilles Gluck. It is 20 pages long and talks about how the Laser arrived in Europe and why it took off before looking at the many changes which have taken place over the years. Gilles explains how the Laser's position in the market place has changed by comparing the Laser's price with other products over the years. There is a section on our class association, its structure and the democratic processes. Gilles concludes by looking at the history of other classes which have followed the route now being advocated by ILCA, ISAF and the builders.
Gilles is not very optimistic about the future and is critical of all the players involved believing their individual quests for increased profits and elite competition are detrimental to the class. Hence the title.
Gilles thought processes are very logical and he presents his case very logically but I expect his views are more prevalent in Europe than NA.
