PY - BANDITS

And nobody has even mentioned the dear Laser with its new carbon top mast, radial cut sail, XD kicker system possibly Ovington built(did that happen yet?) and now at 1100, the first season I took note of these things, a Laser won our series off 1078 and it was an old minger.

How many of the PYAG sail Lasers?

Or have they moved onto Wayfarers now?

Inland and sea yardsticks. Job done for Laser whingers. On 1078, inland, they were a bit harshly done by. On the sea, it appears they were ok. Now, on 1100, on a lake they aren't too bad (in other words, I think it's a bit too nice, because I'm racing against them) but on the sea a bit of a bandit?

And all the good Laser sailors sail in one design fleets so returns only come from the more casual racers?

It'll be a Streaker before I consider a Laser, maybe when the Streaker class catch up with the twentieth century and permit carbon masts as well as booms, what's that about? They permit carbon in the boom but not where it would do some good.

'Streaker' perhaps a base for your pocket rocket, looks a boat worthy of tuning, super light too.
