I find you can just pull the kicker/vang on all the way, take out all the slack and that holds it on just fine, also stops it getting tangled for next time.

The play in the rudder seems to be in the gudgeons at the top but the bottom plate and pin on the stock moves up and down too. I'll try flipping it over
thanks
Hi
Just bought a 2nd hand laser for next season but i have a couple of questions i'm hoping someone can answer :)

Also, the...
