D-Zero

I was going so you might re-consider a daggerboard the next time you've got a slot gasket to repair or replace.... bloody awful things.  But then I remembered Nessa actually likes all that sort of thing... she must have been a glue sniffer in the 80's or something.

They are mainsheet cleats as were supplied but not fitted to every laser. At least they have recessed the bloody things into the deck so you dont bite your arse with them every time you tack. I suppose they are needed because the traveller adjustment is so awkward at the back of the toe strap.

Seems to be the same with the RS Aero, got my mail through with show offers, barely a mention that they're even launching anything new. Certainly no Headline, order at the show, get special offer type screaming headlines, very low key, maybe they think it's going to sell itself.

It's been my experience the older and more mature a market, the more deaf and blind it becomes and the more you need to scream and shout at it in the face of all the noise from everything else from iPods, to icycles and in our case istannah lifts and izimmers with bluetooth phone capability..

Can I get one with blue carbon insets?  How much is it?
