I'll answer with a question.   Could one enter the Laser Olympics with a Rooster sail ?

LOL may I remind you that this is a silly little handicap race for nutters who sail in silly season?

(actually it's for the John Merricks trust, I wonder what the official line would be from them... 'yes, come along and share in your passion of sailing', or 'no f**k off, it's got a chicken on the sail'???

haha - no, and I don't need to answer your question as the context of an Olympics vs an amateur Pursuit Race for charity in the middle of nowhere for an eclectic mix of UK dinghy-dwellers render your point of view from hard-liner to slightly retarded...

Boatshed, I think the vexed question of RRS 78 and handicap races would be best handled in a different thread. This one is confusing enough already.

Mind you its been discussed enough times before, with a variety of more and less bizarre theories presented. However until a club actually formally presents something to the RYA we won't get a definitive answer. I think there's a tendency to avoid doing so in case people don't like the answer that comes back.

No, I haven't.  But who other than the sailors themselves (who have been on this thread) is there to ask?  The club only has the results it's got, and the time limit is presumably way past for the RO/cttee to do anything (am I right)?

not for a Rule 2 hearing surely?  (theoretically speaking, before I get lumbered in with the hard-liners in this thread)
