Rigging DVD

The existing Rigging Manual is a bit dated and contains some rigging suggestions that are now totally different to the way most members set up their boats, hence an instructional video was produced by the UK Laser II Class Association: a snippet from the video can be seen on YouTube.  As of January 2014, the majority of the sections from the instructional video are available on-line for free watching or download. 

With many thanks to Simon, Sarah, Mike, Mark and anyone else I've forgotten for their time and energy in producing the original footage - all the rubbish edits are nothing to do with them!
