No LPE at the dinghy show by the look of it, either.

Back to Laser, is there a Mr Laser in the uk you could even ring up and reason with, how would the 2000 have fetched up with RS, somebody there must have dumped all the spares and bits with somebody if not a dealer

LPE fire saled them on the 1 Dec!  And sold spares to institutional customers first.

Clearly treatment of the EPS was a sign of things to come with SB20 etc etc.

Have you asked the EPS CA about spares, GRF/ Lynall boats had a supply of stuff before they went under, and I think either John or Ivor at Whitefriars know what happened to it all.

As if there was a VD in CVRDA, your post would make more sense. Not much more, mind.

ooh, it should also make you cvrda eligible as a Lost Class!  hope you're coming to the nationals greame, it will be good to meet you at last!





doubtless Rupert will be along to disillusion me, but I cna live in hope.....

Hide the matches ...

Yep, sorry Nessa, not only does the EPS have a CA, but it was designed after 1985, so doesn't get to come and play. I think it would feel out of place anyway - what is needed is an association for all those failed 90's classes which are bumping along the bottom...

So why should anyone believe they will continue to follow through with the rest of the crap they make, given this boat was the only one worth a damn and their dealers are now tarnished with that image imv so should give the entire brand up, it's not as if it's the only case, 3000,4000,5000,Vortex need I continue?


you forgot 2000, though that one's not so bad and has therefore been salvaged by RS.

Yep has a very active CA, with an active fleet, and a large after sales market.  And is a boat which a wide range of weights and abilities can come together on the same race course.
