It just...... happened! We came out of a gybe, looked up and the mast had snapped. Honestly, I didn't do anything!! |

It's only a small lake so the water surface can be deceiving....There are some better ones of the boat with the usual helm and myself in similar winds but I dont know where they have been posted.... Paul |

Yep, got a text from Carshalton on Tuesday to say that the mast had arrived, and another one today to say that the sail's fixed, yipee!
All I hope now, is that Luke's not waiting until Sunday morning to rig the boat for the first time because, from previous experience regarding new stayed masts from Laser, we're likely to miss the morning race! |

yay new mast is on the boat now and main sail looking alot better now it has no hoe in it. the mast felt alot lighter than the old one and we seemed to point alot higher than we used to. the silver mast looks a tini bit funny with the black boom and gnav strut.

Black absorbs light and therefore silver is just a little bit lighter.

yer well i dont mind lets us go faster and the sail goes up so much better but the last mast felt like a pigeon died in my mast track. only problem is i have new shrouds and jib halyard aswell so need to sort out our settings, but the old light wind settings still selt fast so might just leave it. |
