I did have some pictures of my Contender, but I reformatted my hardrive in a fit of "I hate windows" anger and no longer have them. They might be on my mum's external hard drive, which isn't at home at the moment.

Ross have you ever done any boat design? As part of my degree is basic ship stablity. I struggle with that if I have both hands, eyes and a fairly powerfull desk top good luck blind folded! I agree I don't realy like lasers much but you can't find too many problems with the hull design and then suggest that you prefer contenders as they are very similar in shape the contenders just a wee bit longer. As for a compitive contender for 500 pounds please show me, I'm a little peeved because mine which is worth about 1600 struggled to get me out of the middle of the fleet at open, althought that may be something to do with the driver As always sorry about the spelling/grammer. |

^ Seconded And there are probably thousands ( Many of them laser sailors ) who agree, but still sail in the class ( for the racing - and thats it! ) who dont actually enjoy just sailing the boats. |

I apologise if I have insulted you on personal level, but I still think lasers are rubbish. |

well the 600 is better than all of your boats! even if it is still in pieces on the drive and i am unable to sail it competitively in anything over about 20 knots (although i am yet to try to reef it). |

ross you seem to have stirred up alot of anger lol. i am sure you ment to say that laser as a class isnt what you are looking for to get what you want out of the sport. there fore isnt the class for you. however the development boats give you more of the challenge you find interesting, however this is not to say anyother class is better than the other one and peoples preference in boat choice is entirly up to the person sailing. maybe you should have thourght od something like that instead of insulting other classes |

Admittedly, never a strong point. Wait until you see my handwriting! |

I wouldn't bother with the reef if you sail on a lake unless your fairly light. You need the power in the lulls and when it drops off. Plus the cunno, kicker and outhall depower the sail quite nicely in my opinion. On the other hand it could be good to reef whilst you get used to the boat. Then again i'm sure the boat handels very differently with the reef in? 
Anyone had any experiance with and without the reef?
