Do Laser not supply them? If you can't get them there, then it might be worth asking Ian Morgan of Morgan sails (Lasernut on here) to see if he can help.

If you want to stay class legal then you need to buy them from Laser (or one of their dealers). If you are not worried about that then speak to a friendly sailmaker. Ian Morgan has already been mentioned, top guy and very capable sailmaker.

Sailboats.co.uk and go to class spares. They have blue ones, can't say about pink!

I had a clear Mylar 'Race' with Pink & Purple trim made for the wife by P&B.
It went to Sweden of all places.
Don't think class legal is much of an issue in Picos.

Class legal class schmeegal. Who's going to know. And if you buy from laser they come folded and ironed flat into a bag at a knock up price. I know,I have one and paid through the nose for it so my kids wouldn't be challenged at the NSSA regatta.
Rooster do a good "sport" style pico sail. But in pink? Hmm.
