Was surfing the web and came across the Intensity Sails website. These guys seem to have come up with another take on the Rooster 8.1 concept, ie a bigger Laser sail aimed at the larger sailor called the Intensity Power Head. http://www.intensitysails.com/insapohesafo.html

Anyone had any experience of this? Only 200USD so cheap as chips, but can't find anything about them other than the Intensity website. So I guess there won't be a PY, but I'm half tempted to try one just for some blasting.

It looks nice but not sure how well a square top will work on a scaffold mast like the Laser. There are a few sailmakers floating around here though.

The advantage of this is that it sits on the standard spars whereas the 8.1 needs either an extender or a longer bottom section.
