Laser Vang storage

I unclip it every time and put in a bag that I have for all my ropes, gloves and windvane. Never seems to tangle. Never rinse it, but do 75% sailing in freshwater.

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.  My yearly maintenance used to consist of going round the boat with a screwdriver to check the screws were tight. then again I am a pondie.... Every year!!!!! In the fifteen years I had my laser, I think I did that once. You were just too keen, Paul.

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.
