I'm not greatly bothered. If one Laser builder goes toes up another one will arise in its place!

No recent accounts filed, the last were 2008, but a substantial company at that time if a little like all of us during that period, suffering a downturn in profitability.

So can't tell anything from figures that old.

Probably not in the greater scheme of things, I've been unable to find 'them' to do my usual credit check looksee, what is the trading entity? I tried Performance Sailcraft Ltd, but they dont appear to exist, certainly not at companies house in that guise.

Thats exactly what I was thinking .. They pump out how many boats a week, its not hard for them to plan ahead a few weeks (They know when the Worlds are, so maybe even a few MONTHS!) and get some extra boats moulded up every day to make sure they have the numbers .. 



perhaps that many-headed hydra known as "cash-flow problems" is busy striking again...

Laser were not at the SIBs as we know so they could concentrate on "web stuff" now I think there is more to be honest.

I know of a "new customer" who had to request a new hull as his was not perfect but had to wait ages for one. I also believe Laser had numerous issues when Holt ran into difficulties. I think things are smoothing out, Laser had a busy period building Lasers for the Hayling Worlds.
