Laser 28 Class Rules Amended
The Class rules were amended in January 2015 as per the motions brought forward by a voting quorum of paid class members.
Some of key motions were:
1.) Allow use of Dyneema for the backstay and control lines.
2.) To increase the crew weight limit to 1100 pounds as was intended originally in 1984.
3.) To allow use of carbon spinnaker poles.
4.) To follow the RRS on the use of life-lines.
5.) Allow 2 spinnakers to be carried and used.
6.) The mast may be altered so that the spinnaker halyard may be jump hoisted at the mast and cleated at the mast.
The requirements of Rule 22 were met and therefore these motions were voted upon and carried through. I feel these changes are in the best interest of the class moving forward. For those who were involved in the process thank you for your time and effort.

Cork Offshore 2009Seagal crew goes racing on Convictus at Cork Offshore 2009.
After a slight mishap with Seagal, the team ended up sailing on Convictus for Cork this year. Looked pretty convincing too as they easily won their division and CORK Offshore Overall - well done guys!
