not for everyone. for some laser sailing leads to no sailing... but I digress, the Vortex, yep, great boat; interestingly enough on the list of nasties I gave it, the first line of defence was to challenge an assertion it was 'too northern'... go figure.

Erm I suppose... But it seems like a clever way of covering a cock up to me? ;)

I heard the best way to cover a cock up was to chop the moulds up... exactly what did LPE do with the Vortex originals?

Thanks for bringing up Jon's moment. I did the footage some years ago, I
had to stop the tape as i couldn't stop laughing. Makes me laugh every time i
see it.
ref the moulds. Laser kept promising them to the vortex class but had to
have a big clear out with the new buyers coming to visit. That's what they say.
More like they didn't want the new Vortex class to better there name. Current RS800 crew and Contender owner. Past Musto,Vortex,Contender,RS400,RS500,Buzz,470,420,Laser,Enterprise,Solo and a few more.

I knew a guy who traded his Laser in for a Vortex being sold the whole "speed of a cat, convienence of a monohull" stuff which was floating around at the time. Absolutely regretted it and came to the conclusion, speed of a mono with the handling of a cat, worst of both world. Went and bought a Dart and absolutely loves the thing now, so suppose every cloud has a silver lining.
