Why dont you try making one it should be fairly easy! i have never heard of the class so i doubt they have class rules for the open events etc so it doesnt need to be class legal. ------------- -[Franko]- Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club RS600 933 |

True but you can find the dimensions yourself and make the board exactly as you would like it as long as it fits in the slot ------------- -[Franko]- Chew Valley Lake Sailing Club RS600 933 |

here is a hopper! looks like a laser 1 to me! have you tried a laser on daggerboard to see if it fits? also you could write to yamaha, I'm sure they have the boat spec somewhere

Am i missing a link to the picture somewhere, i can't seem to see it. I got hold of a phone number for yamaha, but i need to take the details to a yamaha dealer, and they will then get in touch with yamaha uk who will get in touch with yamaha japan who may possibly have details. I think i'll just try and make one. |
