Rooster OD Replacement Sail for the Laser® Standard rig (which is to the new Mk2 radial cut design) . The sail cloth (3.8oz) used is the same as the official Laser training sail, but the cut and shape has been altered slightly to ensure it does not break any design copyright. This is a quality product and will be ideal for those who are looking for the perfect training sail.
Tuning Guide
The radial cut standard sail does not use the same set up as the original cross cut sail. It is actually similar to the radial (5.7 - the radial), in that it requires lots more vang/kicker tension to bring the fullness back away from the luff. I have heard that lighter sailors have got away with a very flat sail on flat water using their outhaul. This sail is also quite powerful. The leach stands for longer than the original cross cut, which would work well on inland waters. Those who have been the happiest when changing to the new official radial cut sail have been in the heavier weight range.

Rooster OD replacement parts are high quality replacements that perform the same function as the original part. They should not be confused with official parts bearing the Laser® registered trademark. They cannot be used if you are sailing at an Association event. However, they are perfect for social sailing, sailing schools, club sailing or training. Generally, there is a significant cost saving when purchasing Rooster OD parts.
Note: The official Laser Standard Mark II sail (bi-radial construction) is manufactured from 4.5oz Dacron cloth

Excellent service it arrived within 3 days of ordering. First sail in a medium breeze pointing high and good boatspeed.
This was faster than expected on my first day out. The sail has a noticeably bigger belly behind the mast, and at wind speeds of ~8 knots was noticeably faster in head-to-head competition with other Lasers.
The sail trim is different than my previous Laser sail. It seemed well-trimmed with the windward telltale hanging vertically (and the leeward telltale streaming). I probably need to add a telltale further back on the sail to help with windward side trim.
In very light wind conditions, the big belly was unhelpful and difficult to trim, but didn't seem noticeably slow.
Nice bundle, good sized sAil bag. Good shape allows better pointing than older baggy sail. Used for club racing.
I sailed with this sail for the first time yesterday, it is so much more controllable and a really well made product at an excellent price. I bought the sail before you were doing the package so I missed out on the sail tidy & long sail bag, what fantastic value for money that is now !!!
