Yeah i know i was talking to one of the guys from RS about
why the 600 still has that main and and hasnt moved onto the carbon weaved sail like the 300 or the kevlar weave of the 700. He said the 300 association decided they wanted a new main and so RS sorted it for them. RS didnt actually play any part in the idea of the modernised main so if the 600 is going to get the same style, we will have to as an association organise it. But at the moment the current sail works perfectly and i dont see any reason to change apart from looks. |

Your main would look good if you got an update for it similar to what our new 300 and the 700 one looks like.

A couple of pictures from the dinghy show with the boat fully pimped. I dont think there is any more pimping i can do It looked lovely and shiny on the stand. I was well chuffed. |

I knocked this up the other night. Picked up the printed vinyl today so this weekends job will be applying a rather large one to the main and some slightly more petite versions to the crews area of the cockpit. She then can't say I never warned her!

that sail doesnt look too bad. it actually makes the laser
look a bit more modern. and yes if the thigh-breaking side decks were remodelled and sorted out with something a bit more comfortable - some cushions maybe? - then yes i would be more interested in them too. to me, lasers just seem like a bigger topper with a point at the end. yes when your young toppers are great fun and one of the best boats to sail, but looking back they are sooooo much effort for not much reward. |

I was considering a laminate main....need some money to get some material
first. I think I'll do it at some point for sh*ts and giggles and make it a square top. |

Is there anything I can actually do to pimp a laser?
I'm struggling to think of anything........I may actually have to source some camo material for the toestrap. What's the best paint to use on carbon? Could always paint the tiller and tiller extension. |
