Ovington Laser

   TLC book will be thinner, they are going back to strict one design, no composite mast top to factor in to settings, no mk2 sail to factor in.

	I thought I was getting the hang of this brave new world,but seeing the reports of how well our men have done in the Laser Standard fleet of the Laser European Championships run by EurILCA with the classic Laser starburst insignia everywhere has got me all confused again.

	All 'Lasers' built by LP with 'World sailing plaque' will be eligible to race in ILCA/UKLA 'and' TLC events, 'Lasers' built by LP without 'World sailing plaque' can only race in TLC events. ILCA 'Lasers' with 'World sailing plaque' can only sail in UKLA and ILCA events. Edited by 423zero - 14 Oct 20 at 1:44pm

	But shouldn't eurICLA be running the ICLA Europeans with fleets of 7s, 6s etc?

	Yes I thought that too. No mention of ILCA boats at all in the report, always “Laser”, and references to radials and standard rigs. Like old times.

	ILCA with logo will revert back to Laser with starburst as soon as lawyers allow, I'd think. And does anyone on here ever say, I'm sailing an Ilca today?

	Getting nasty. The Laser Class 22 September at 12:03 · TheLaserClass.com and uk.TheLaserClass.com are temporarily down due to ILCA falsely claiming to the site hosts that the Class Rules posted was copyright infringement of the ILCA construction manual. Unfortunately, this is not the first time this type of harassment has happened, and we had hoped ILCA would stop spending sailors’ time and money on such endeavors. We apologize that you are the caught in the crossfire and are the ones affected by ILCA’s actions. The Laser Class is exploring all options and is working to resolve this quickly so we can continue supporting Laser sailors.

	It would seem that few of those involved in this madness have realised that as toys are thrown around the playpen, the only possible result will be increased sales of other single handers.

	There was nothing false about the copyright claim. It was a blatant steal. They even ripped off the drawings.
