The class association needs to provide leadership on this issue, are they categorically stating they will not allow Lasers built by Laser, and they are not class compliant?

There is something fundamentally wrong with all of this ... if Laser Performance can make a profit at the £ 4K price point, I wonder how much the sport could be grown by making these boats “legal”?

Because it isn't a replica boat it's a Laser built by the owner of the Laser name and brand, surely the replica is the ICLA dinghy
 ?

Why is buying a replica boat any different from buying a replica sail? |

Exactly so, and if enough people do they can start their own Laser class association. |

I'm sure they'd be delighted to hear your suggestions about how to do that. |

HI Sam But then they sell it without the plaque to some junior who then finds its an illegal boat for the Regional champs etc. Not all parents would know anything about the problem. I think ILCA should try to stop them selling them until they sort out the issue.

Seriously though, if you only sail at club and regional level then it's a great deal and nothing illegal or immoral about buying and racing one (unlike buying a replica sail for example).

I wonder when the Chinese will start making fake plaques (if they aren't already)
 .Its does illustrate how much extra profit there is in a 'class legal' Laser though.

Is it ILCA for class legal and Laser for illegal boats ?
How many clubs will ban Laser ? Probably none. |
