ILCA 7 / Laser MK2 (STD) Replacement Sail Inc Battens + Sailbag

Can't fault it.

It's a laser sail without the laser branding or price. It's the first time I've bought a new sail and was astonished with the difference it has made to the performance of my laser, I've gone from the back end of the fleet to the front of the fleet, wish I'd bought a new sail years ago and on a regular basis. I also had the numbers and telltales added by them and can't fault the service. I ordered on Saturday and the sail arrived Tuesday with numbers and telltales added.

Excellent Sail and Fast Shipping

Rooster's replacement / training / practice mainsail is of excellent quality and a good value. Was pleasantly surprised to discover that the sail arrived with lightly penciled lines indicating where the sail numbers are to be placed (both starboard and port sides); same for the country codes (both as per ILCA rules). Another pleasant surprise was the 8 black telltales with stick-on pads. And their shipping was fast. The white fiberglass battens provided are a bit heavy and stiff; I recommend replacing them with the black Rooster battens, which are lighter and more flexible (and reasonably priced). As another reviewer mentioned, the folding of the sail done for shipping puts a crease on the window, but it comes out with time and proper care. There are also some loose threads fraying from the sailcloth where it is cut for the window; this is easily handled with a little trimming now and then. For the price and overall quality and shape of the sail, these things do not detract from the excellent value of the sail.

Easy transaction with item as expected but less than perfect finish.

The sail had a number of threads left untidy. It would have been better finished if these threads had been cut off. The way the sail was folded and parcelled for delivery has left a crease across the sail window that will take quite some time to stretch out. Again this could have been improved with a better way of parcelling.
