It's about time we had a thread where we can all moan about the overpriced and bad quality products that laser like to sell us all.  Now I shall head back to one of the 'bum RS' threads as their gear is obviously so much better quality and value...

You registered just to say that? Just because Lasers are inconsitent (and possibly a bit poor) in build quality and of somewhat flawed design coupled to being a bit overpriced, doesn't automatically mean we like RS.
 
Who are you, mr sockpuppet?

Just spotted your footnote. Are you flogging your 100?

Yes I think I might be if there are any buyers about, not expecting a quick sale..

If I can't sail it in the conditions we had Sunday with the big sail and it seems my build isn't right for it, then I've no desire to hang around perpetually at the back of the fleet with that 8.4 and endure a crap PY as well as being beaten by even the slowest Laser sailor with the least experience. Even my generosity of spirit couldn't endure that humiliation for too long.
 
I dont know what your doing but theres something far wrong if your hanging around with the Lasers. Must be the courses sailed or something???? Stick with it and just practice more...

It was well worth the time it took to register. 


Now I've taken that step I may just become a regular poster here.

No, I'm not just hanging around with Lasers, in light air which is normally my strongest point of sailing.
 I'm behind the lasers, not just the good laser sailors I'm back behind the ones that sail and trail feathers, the mackerel fleet. 

They've even taken to trying to talk to me and everyone knows you don't speak to laser sailors they don't even understand your basic foxtrot oscar.

I heard a funny joke today at work....
 
Q "What's the difference between a Laser and a cheap immitation?"
 
A "What the F*ck is a Laser?"
 
Maybe I'll just stick to the Cherub jokes...

Those who knock the Laser fall into 2 categories:-
(1) girls, and...
(2) those who find they lose too many modelling contracts because of horizontal bruises on the back of their thighs.

I'd still have a laser over an RS, accepting the hit it would take on my "street cred"

Well i am sick of all this guff and it looks like most of it was deleted before i had chance to comment and get myself into another spot of bother.  

One thing is for sure this forum is going to be a dwindling flame thanks to some peoples actions over the last few days....
