Devoti built ILCAs will soon be available in the UK I am told so more than one builder might increase competition on price a little.

All new 'official Lasers' are now ILCAs 'cos LPE owns the Laser trademark.

Given that you're saved £3k you could sell for much less than a similar 'official Laser', I reckon initial depreciation will be much less (in £'s) than an ILCA/Kirby Torch...

LPE will loads of them to sailing centres worldwide. The tooling wiped its face decades ago, and the boats no longer need to be built to the tolerance level of the construction manual.
As a major racing class the medium term future of the ILCA is pretty uncertain and I wonder if Ovi are trying to recoup tooling costs asap? I cant see £3k difference even with the carbon (What percentage fibreglass I wonder?) mast section.

But will you be able to sell it later? how many clubs will not accept what are now knock-offs (ours won't) most though who would want to do business with Rastegar who failed to pay Bruce Kirby how many millions in rightful dues? Is that not theft? we all have to draw our own moral lines, but I would not give R a brass farthing On the other hand, £7k (cover, trolley etc) for a Laser/ILCA his, as you say, no longer great value. You could run a fab second hand RS100 on the circuit for 2 or 3 years on that, new res every year and all |

I would assume if they wanted a measurement button on the sails. They would want a world sailing plaque on the hull. That’s the important bit. Andy Edited by andymck - 30 Sep 20 at 8:35pm |

Do I assume that even a club which doesn't allow replica sails would allow a Laser, built by Laser, to race as a Laser, even if the world governing body says only the version named after themselves can be used?

Looking from the outside in, I am trying to work out why you wouldn’t buy a Laser XD with latest sail anD carbon top mast at £ 3,867? The attraction of Lasers back in the day was that they were cheap and cheerful, and given that knock off sails are accepted by most club fleets, why wouldn’t lots of sailors home in on the Laser product ... what justifies the extra £ 3k?

Just announced SailingFast will be Ovi's ILCA sales agent.
£6,750 for standard rig with carbon top section - no details on the remaining spec but presumably that's full XD Contrast £7,440 for an Aero7 and £6,809 for a D-zero at today's exchange rate (€7.490) I suspect they'll sell well initially, to squaddies (and wanabes) and those that have been holding back for ages whilst the dust settled on the disputes. Don't think I'll be replacing my 20 year old, million-miler with one though, particularly as its only used occasionally; the RS100 is infinitely more fun
