Don't worry mate - you are technically correct all Laser/RS boats are plastic! 5 years ago, before the advent of ROTA-moulded boats, any dinghy not made of wood was called plastic but now people seem to talk about plastic boats meaning exclusively rota-moulded. Edited by Matt Jackson |

yer i no what you mean. if you look at a plastic boat they have a dull finish and dont shine. but if you look at a normal boat the finish on most is very good and shines!!!!

If you try hard you can make a topper shine...................I am in the process of sanding the foils on my Topper to get ri of the scratches which someone said i should do !
I guess i don't want extra drag ! |
