Laser Nationals

   I was not doing a Byte verses laser thing but a laser verses l the other single handers thing. We have 5 sailing bytes, 3 aeros, 8 Novas and 2 phantoms.phants. Only Lasers are buggered up club ones.

	Since getting a Mirror, I have looked on class website and read articles on other sites and forums, it appears Mirror is now aimed at a younger market, perhaps taking over from Cadet ?

	Already discussed: http://www.yachtsandyachting.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12810 If you include the Masters nationals the Lasers are way way more popular than the Byte, and judging by the PY list there are about 30 Lasers on the water for every Byte. There's a specific situation with the Laser class that the Nationals appears to have turned into a youth event few older sailors want to attend. Edited by JimC - 05 Aug 17 at 2:16pm

	Why would you be surprised? Most Lasers these days do a good job smothering weeds at the back of the boat park.....except for misguided would be olympians of course. so many better boats to sail, we had 32 Bytes at our recent Nationals.

	Only 20 Standard Lasers at the Nationals ! A local Open would get more than that
