There is nothing stopping you using a Ozzy boat in the UK with an American sail etc.

They charge extra over the pond for Hyde Laser sails over the Norths. As long as it has the class button on it I don't see how they could stop you.

Got to agree with you there Iain, it should be the same. I would think it probabky is the same. But then why do people import hulls?? |

When you sign up to ISAF for equipment for the games, you must be allowed to purchase ANY component from anywhere in the World. So Aussie boat US sail whatever. |

I think somoeones been pulling his leg.. Personally my view on replica sails is that they should be fine for club racing, but NOT fine for any open meeting. I'm yet to come across a club in the UK that specifically outlaws replica sails for club racing. |

I understand that it is possible to negotiate some intreresting discounts for grouped orders. Try asking Laser for 10 new sails to be invoiced to your club class captain. Worth a try.

Nottingham Trent outlaw them.That is where my boat came from. i told the guy that i bought the boat from that I though his club were being quite narrow minded about it. As for using an American sail over here do so at your own risk. The North effort is even worse than the Hyde effort! There is no rule that I know of that prevents you from doing this just remember you will have to pay VAT/Import duty on the sail..... |
