As I see it a upper-mast made of carbon would make the Laser a cheaper
boat to sail. I race with the Radial rig but practice with the Standard
rig. This season I bent TWO upper masts, and I only sailed
August-November (due to injury). A carbon mast would have a higher
price, sure, but it would last more then half a year of sailing!
In Sweden the Europe-dinghy(Olympic class for women) is a large class,
but a new one costs aprox. 8000$ The reason why to sail a Laser is
clear, but it could be even cheaper.
