Given that nearly every sailor has at some time owned a Laser it's highly unlikely that all sailing related organisations are not infiltrated by them.

Great material for conspiracy theorists then, but in the real world - just another load of b*llcks

All posts come back to the Laser, handicap vs fleet racing or the RYA PY conspiracy in my view. Its actually quite amusing once you get used to it all and just ignore it

I'd check which forum you are in matey..... Thumbs Down

it's the power of foresight, or the inevitability of the Y&Y forum... all threads come back to whether Lasers are a good positive force or indeed something wholly negative within our lives... a bit like social media, liberalism and tinder.... OK (Grindr too ... sorry Team Blaze)
