quite a few as their 'cost to change' is rather less than the cost of a new sail as club racers will buy 'nearly new ' sails and any that get torn are often just written off by insurers even though repairs are legit and legal in the class rules |

that depends on the structure newer classes builders who want to 'take ocntrol' are more IP law savvy than the numerous laser companies have been over the years CA - depends on whether it actually exists or is part of the Builder's PR+ marketing team ... |

I think you'll struggle to find many things that have a regular diet of consumables and aren't sold on the "cheap initial purchase - expensive consumables" model. |

I haven't noticed any copies, only one I know for certain is the rooster sail, but only used once owner didn't like it.

I understand many of the cheaper capsule coffee machines are sold at a very tight margin, hook the punters in and make mega margin on the capsules.
The Laser model seems similar! |
