Lasers

Originally posted by mike ellis hang on john, the top section for a laser is the same for all the rigs. therefore the bottom sections must all be the same diametre otherwise the top section wouldnt fit/ would wobble about. im sure you could just hacksaw a full rig down to size if you wanted.

I'm guessing the gooseneck would need moving up but could be worth a try or would you shorten it from the top? Either way the mast can be aquired fairly cheaply, its the sail that costs the money, hence my earlier post.

so the sail will be tight on the bottom section?

You can not hack saw off a standard section as it is much thicker than a radial section.

You need "class" sails to race at class opens (not fakes).

 

Does anyone know where I can get a useable Radial sail without breaking the bank? I'm having lots of fun learning with my full rig but on windy days I spend more time in the water than on it.
