For boom mounting I use the bike helmet mount, the one with straps. It holds pretty well unless you whack the boom into the water. I started to design a stick on adaptor for Phantom booms but had to format my pc and lost autocad in the process. Couldnt find any freeware that wasn't aweful to use after that so gave up on the idea.

Kev,
For 2d use draftsight. For 3d either designspark (based on spaceclaim) which is easy to use but cannot do drawings but it can output to 3d printers, or creo elements (personally didn't like)
Everything I say is my opinion, honest

now come on tell the truth, we all know it goes back to Luca, his henchmen threatening to break your legs if you squeal, and a sizeable backhander to someone at ISAF who is busy constructing an elaborate legal battle in Connecticut to chuck the Laser out in time for the 2020 Games.....

No because i think Rodney would have the necessary cells to check something before it was released on all social media platforms!  Live by the sword die by the sword.  You promote by these avenues when it goes wrong expect to be called out.  

One thing is for sure there was a video posted and then taken down.  Not just speculation by someone to make a point!

I've not read any of this mahoosive thread, but had a go in one of these today. 

Very nicely finished and fit out, light and responsive, however I couldn't help but think it desperately needed about another 3 layers of carbon on the mast, less roach, or some standing rigging. Pulling on controls just seemed to pull the mast into all kinds of funny shapes and it seemed very easy to go block to block on everything. 

What was I doing wrong or is 88kg pushing the weight range a bit?

Nice little boat apart from that though!
