New Laser Rag

- everyone mucking in out of a sense of 'duty'

- the whole being greater than the sum of its parts 

- a progressive social labour policy- first year member scrubs bogs, but through good union intervention of the solo class captain, he's elevated to greater importance untangling the mooring warps and race mark chains in a season or two.

And let's not forget the cakes - homemade, zero profit cake- baked by happy wives who know their place and do not apply for the 'shadow' committee.  Now there's one in the eye for the establishment- well the establishment that is Starbucks up the road- ripping us off, avoiding the corp tax of half stale, low fat blueberry muffins... the capitalist scum, paying staff a living wage when a volunteer should do it for free.  

There's even a Billy Bragg song called 'Birds and Ships'... I've not listened to it, but it's pretty much all most sailors I know go on about.

One thing's for sure, under Corbyn Bewl are f*cked.

They might not agree when they see what it will cost them 

Cant compare apples with pears mate.

The Laser rag can and is produced at a profit for a fraction of what Laser sell the official sail for (even taking into account the minimal royalty).

If the Mk 2 is launched at £395 then that is at least a step forward and better than other regions which have seen an increase of 25% over the current sail.
