Laser control line thickness?

Well is stand corrected, he is however using something like 5mm I would think, but could be wrong.  Me personally I wouldn't use it for what I term hand adjusted control lines, the lack of cover make sit more susceptible to tangle and knotting, it also won't help with wear.

I don't understand what you mean by cover mate, the standard control lines I mentioned earlier have dynemma cores.  If you buy d12 there is no coating so to speak,  if you watch the Marlow or rooster splicing videos you will understand how it works a bit more I would suggest.

Over the last four years I have spent hours with Jon Emmett perfecting the Laser race kit ropes. We decided that 4mm sk 78 control lines work best. The best manufacturer by far is Maffioli.

If anyone would like one of my race kits email me.

I also have an excellent traveller. My first part control lines are far superior too. Now using sk99 high modulus dynes a on the vang.

Testing showed that of three first parts on the vang, d12 stretched 70mm, sk90 20mm and sk 99 only 2.5mm... That was after a 20 minute sail in a force 4 breeze at Weymouth.

We've done the research and proven what works best.

I can make a better quality race pack cheaper than laser, rooster or any other decent competitor sell.

You can make bigger performance gains with altering foils and working on the hull of a laser, still class legal, than you will by changing rope.

Good rope means less expense replacing, more effective control and that you can trust your gear not to fail.
