I have glued rubrail onto the entire gunwale of my nearly new Laser. I used 3M 5200 glue, permanent adhesive. I addressed the question of legality to the ILCA in England and got a reply requesting more info. I sent it, but an answer doesn't seem to be coming. Who in the North American Laser org do I address this question to?
In addition, from reading the rules, it seems the rubrail may not be legal, however, another rule states that if its purpose is to make you faster, it's probably not legal. Rubrail likely slows you down, but it keeps the gelcoat from chipping when you whack your boat on the dock.
I recently found that the North American class rules might not be the same as those listed at the international website. So who answers this sort of question for North America?
