Afternoon all,

Do any other clubs offer a seperate PY for a Laser II Fun over a Laser II Regatta? The RYA give 1035 for a Laser II but do not differentiate between the Fun and the Regatta.

Cheers,

Paul

The one at our club sailed off an enterprise handicap!

I thought the Fun was the non-spinnaker/non-trapeze version of the Reggata!
water, water, everywhere...
but not a drop to drink

Well this one has got a trapeze kit but the mast is different from the regatta. Has all the kite fittings too but no chute.

I said they would probably have to go off 1035 for now.

I asked the RYA for a figure for the 'Fun' a couple of years ago. They answered that they'd not enough returns to be positive, but suggested 1082.

If the optional spinnaker and trapeze are used, I can see little justification for a very different PY from the Regatta. Sure, the mainsail cut is cheaper, but the mast has spreaders so at least you can get some pre-bend, unlike the Regatta. The bags could even be quicker than the chute in rough conditions with a wet kite in the boat, if the Fireballs are to be believed. I'd try 1040 if I were a club handicapper, but the average Fun owner probably wouldn't be up to it....
