Laser Vang storage

I always used to leave mine attached to the mast under the cover. I did used to wrap the tail of the vang round the main bit a few times and tie it off to prevent it getting all messed up which works pretty well.

Oh and if sailing on salt water make sure you rinse everything off with clean water after each sail.

Well, that's certainly a good idea - but my Laser kicker has survived 6+ years of misuse, one rinse per year - and storage in the bottom of the boat, without any obvious detriment.

Take them all off if you aren't going to be using the boat for a while, most foil bags have a handy pocket for this sort of thing... Obviously at an event you would take them off at the end, not every night.

Every year!!!!! In the fifteen years I had my laser, I think I did that once. You were just too keen, Paul.
