Those with long memories, or keen minds, will realise that the Laser II design is 40 years old this year - how time flies!
Sadly the design has been eclipsed in many areas, although still remaining capable of providing cheap thrills on the water. Nevertheless, we have to face up to the fact that there is no national, or international, competitive competitor nucleus, which leaves the problem of what to do with the class association. I'm happy to keep an eye on the website for a while longer, as there is some useful info buried there, but perhaps we should be thinking about the time to say 'so long, and thanks for all the fish'?
