We thought a bloke at my club must have bought an M rig by mistake as his new full sail didn't fit the mast ... and the top mast was very short.

..... then we noticed the mast collar had slipped and a foot or so of top mast was inside the bottom section!!

So - a variable laser rig where you just pull the top mast in and out of the bottom and roll the spare sail round the boom.  Infinite rigs.

I sail at Frensham; I guess most inland sites have windless summer evenings for drifting after work

Hey Pondscum, do you sail at my club? We have very windless Wednesday nights!

The Radial is 5.7 sq. m, so that's the same thing?

What is the LDC 9.3? Riki's joke or something for windless Wednesday nights?

1 out 5 isn't the best hit ratio
I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!
