I have been going over this with my production guys. This is their response;
The fact that the Intensity sail is faster than a "race" sail in many conditions is an added bonus.
In which case I suggest that any club that has allowed Intensity sails for club racing dis-allow them now. To my mind a central principle of Laser sailing is that people compete on equal equipment terms. For clubs to start allowing people to go out a buy a faster sail is not part of Laser sailing.
The Intensity sail might be cheaper than a class legal sail but then all those people who have paid for class legal sails yet want to compete on equal terms will also have to go out and buy an Intensity sail as well. I think clubs have to recognise what a Laser is and that people who have already paid out for the expensive class sail should not need to pay out again to be on equal terms to others.
