I have got a Laser if I decide to do something with it, not sure what yet  LOL but if it has been vapourised saves me losing any more sleep  LOL
Remember a Laser is for life not just for weekends

I saw this on Facebook a few weeks ago - it looks like a lot of fun, best of luck to them, I’d love a go one day.

You can do anything you like if you just want to sail it but if you want to race then the answer would be no......

You can race it too, but not as a Laser.

What would you say to RO ? What would be their answer ? I would say ok and just give them same PY, would put Laser*, with an explanation at bottom of page.

It would be outside class rules.
It would probably make tacking harder with a lot of kicker on.
Apart from Finns and B14s, which other classes go for padding anyway?
(The B's seem to have a degree of upholstery where the tramp wraps around the outer wing bar).
