I can't imagine the 300 rig on a laser being any more fun than it is on a 300... and I also can't see the 14 rig on an 800 being any more fun than it is on a 14! worth a bash though! |

RS300 rig on a laser would be cool to try. A 14 rig on an RS800 would be fun too |

Build Tornado Hulls out of Carbon. Could probably shed 50kg off the all up weight. It would really go then! |

Last I checked kevlar 200g plain is at somewhere near £20/sqm but theres a bit of a shortage of carbon at the mo so the equivelant carbon cloth has gone up in most places and seems to be around £30/sqm... Edit: just had a bit of a glance around and found somewhere selling 200g plain carbon cloth at about £45/sqm!!! Edited by Isis |

Yeah, but its funny that you aren't allowed one, its not as if they increase performance! The fireball extension isn't very long so no significant weight decrease... I don't see what the problem is if people want to spend more on their boats if it doesn't affect performance at all. Carbon tillers don't bend either (or break if you get a good one). |

To bleedin right. It has to be the biggest design flaw ever in a boat, i mean did they actually ever test sail it? What made me really laugh is when an esteemed yachting mag that rymes with pots and potting reviewed the XD version they sort of nochanlantly glossed over it with its a bit of a pain, but hey ho. Had this been a boat straight out of the box i'm sure it would have fared a lot worse. As for it being a bit of a pain take a look at the face of a laser sailor whose just in front of the fleet on the last lap and does this on a gybe at the last bottom mark Edited by tack'ho |

the cost of a sq m of carbon to a sq m of kevlar at my outlet is exactly the same, they just have rather different properties which vary on the lay up

Yeah, but at least an alloy extension is cheaper than a carbon one, so the rule serves its purpose. The alloy/kevlar poles are so heavy they can cause damage to people's decks when they are dropped, so they cost more in foredeck repairs!
