	Do the replica sail makers have to pay royalties to laser ?

	Most OD sailors, myself included, are prepared to pay significantly over the odds for a class-legal sail, so long as the manufacturer is putting something back into supporting the class. Laser on the other hand is just treating its customers as a herd of cash-cows. Buy a replica.

	I would guess this is because of the unexpected repair they need to make to their factory wall.... In all seriousness laser Sail pricing has been a joke for many years. Ring up and whinge at them and say you are considering buying a replica they may give you a discount.

	I was thinking about buying a new laser radial sail.I checked the price last week and it was £394.95. I looked again this week and the price had gone up to £540! Anyone know why? It seems a big price jump. I have always been particular about buying the official product but cant help feeling that its getting too expensive. Our club has a relaxed attitude to replica sails and you can buy one for £200. As I am into my 6th decade and dont travel much now, I am more than tempted to go down the replica route. If the replica suppliers can supply a product at much less than half the price then why cant laser keep their prices down? They surely must have more buying power. Just checked and an Aero 7 sail is £409. If RS can do it at this price then why cant Laser?
