I don't share your pain...... but I don't sail a laser...... Actually I do share the bit about the foil bag never drying out my recently acquired Blaze has some osmosis on the rudder due to it having spent a couple of years languishing in a soggy rudder bag  Ouch

- 63.7% of the fleet are now on XD kit

- Maclaren launched a stroller that converts into a road bike and pimped it via the LP email database

A pointless list of things that really annoy me about my Laser
The rudder clip doesn't hold the rudder on
You have the choice between a tiller that ejects from the rudder stock when you release the rudder downhaul, or a wobbly tiller if you put a pin in.
The self bailer is a joke
It's more of a faff to rig than most boats with 3 sails, you spend ages fiddling with bits of string to get over the control systems being a silly compromise to appease class rules.
The mast has bent a little in normal use, so it's technically out of class.
The Laser-branded bag for the foils is designed never to dry out
I need to buy a mechanical compass because the TackTick I already have isn't allowed.

Maybe it's no surprise people are buying Solutions, Solos and Supernovas?
