Could somebody please measure the length of their mast and let me know what it is.
I've measured mine and I seem to have half a metre more than the Laser Centre say I should have !
Am I reading my tape measure wrong ? It's always harder in metric.

Gordon replied:

Thank you for that. Did you realise that Laser (and our spec. section)say it is 6.2 metres ?

Erling, In view of you putting yourself out on my behalf, and because you have a nice sandy beach, I'll definitely be at Shanklin this year.

Thanks Erling,

I've updated our spec. section, and also changed the hull weight to the 33Kg measured by Paul. Now it makes me wonder how many of the other measurements are wrong!

I think we should club together & buy the Laser Centre a new tape measure - they could start by measuring the tiller extensions!

Hi Erling
First how are you doing with setting up a cheap ferry deal? It needs to be similar to that that Gurnard have set up in previous year (about ?66 return for car plus 4 people plus trailer).
Ed Low is the expert.
