Ovington Laser

   Its true that very few hulls remain as competitive as a Laser for as long, pity the sails need replacing every few months but at least most people at club level just buy a non-class version!

	Its been ages since I last sailed a Laser but I loved my time in the class. There's still a good demand for old boats too. I've just sold my daughters 130k sail number oldie but goodie and I think I could have sold it 5x over. Hope the recent issues are behind the class and look forward to seeing the new boats.

	Or is becoming a Laser builder likely to become a bit of a poisoned chalice? Nice to hear that your old boat is still being used in anger!

	I love Sam Whaleys comment “I have come to the conclusion it’s a laser” Or another quote from a club member who was down there “It’s very white” Time will tell if the rake numbers are consistent and the build quality is more consistent. Or, the issues are more to do with the building manual. But then, they do seem more robust than my aero.
