Il likely get rinsed for saying this as im sure most people on here have noticed my oppinion of lasers but id agreed with turnturtle.
Get what you feel comfortable with to start off and once youve sailed here for a few months you'll be able to make up your own mind on where you want to head next

that must have been hard for you Isis .  But yeah i think you should stick to what you know for now.  I can say from experience that lasers actually have excellent racing all year round and then if you want to move on you'd be better informed and will probably make a better decision than you would now.

Such SMOD bashing usually comes from those who couldn't sail them!

Btw Stu- I know you can sail a laser pretty well!

Harry, the vast majority of my SMOD bashing is meant in jest and just plays on how people get so worked up about the whole thing.
If you want to have a chat about my succsess in the laser compared to the moth I sail now knock me up on MSN, im not going to turn this into another debate.

Best to keep all the reasons why we're so much better than smodeys in one thread  anyway

It was meant to be a joke mate- not trying to knock your sailing ability. using the one argument SMODs have, but i don't think we can compete now you have your own smilies etc.!

smods suck. they get really boring and are expensive casue u have to buy the parts from the company.  also have u noticed that all laser sailors are t***ts and that its the same with the youth squad.

anyway look at getting a feva if you are small or a 505 if youy are large.

All of the Laser sailors? Old and young? Male and female?? No exception????? Blimey, that's an awful lot of people! Have you met them all, dear Mr Love?

I fail to understand how that type of comment can help broaden the debate. Please have a look at the numerous (but no so varied) opinions on SMODs in other threads and see that your side of the argument has been done to death, thank you.
