  Rigging a Laser Sailboat: How To Rig & Launch a Laser Dinghy
Before you head out on the water laser sailing, you have to rig your dinghy, and if you have never done this before, it may seem a little overwhelming. There is no real order in which you should rig your Laser sailboat. There are many combinations and ways of rigging a laser sailboat, and that shown below is simply one combination. Talk to a few people as you rig up, have a few goes yourself, and you’ll work out which way works best for you. It’s always good to rig up a few times at home before you head out laser sailing if it’s practical and safe to do so. This is recommended so that you are confident that you know what goes where, and so that you can remember how you tie the knots . Rigging a Laser Sailboat StepsAs mentioned, there are many different ways when rigging a Laser sailboat. Below is 1 suggestion of the rigging sequence… Before You Leave HomeCheck the weather. Check the forecast before you leave home, and look outside to check for yourself. Safety should be your first priority, so if the conditions are not suitable for your level of experience, then you may want to reconsider heading out. Pack Your GearIf you have been out sailing before, it’s a good idea to pack all your gear away neatly so that it is easy to find, This means that when you pack all your gear to head out sailing the next time, you will know where everything is and you won’t forget anything. There is nothing worse than getting down to the waterfront and then start to rig your laser sailboat only to find that you have forgotten something crucial (eg. your sail or life jacket), and have to head home before you have made it out onto the water. It’s easy to get excited about heading out for a great day on the water. However, before you leave, take a minute to check that you have everything packed. When You Arrive At The WaterfrontDetach the trailer/dolly. If the trailer has to be detached from the car when parked, do this 1st. Then slide the dolly/trolley off the trailer, and position it relatively close to where you will launch, with the bow pointing into the wind.  Unpack Gear and CheckUnpack all your other laser sailing gear , including sail, ropes, foils, and spars , and lay it out to make sure it is all there. Some people like to get dressed in their sailing gear before they start rigging their boat. If you get dressed at the start, then as soon as you have finished rigging, you can hit the water immediately. It also means that your sail won’t flog as much and cause any extra wear and tear and that your boat won’t accidentally tip over while on the dolly… which may happen especially if there is quite a strong breeze blowing. Start Rigging Your LaserLay the boom on the deck. Feed the mainsheet rope through the blocks and eyelet on the boom, and through the block in the cockpit and the traveler . It is advisable to tie a figure 8 knot in both ends of the mainsheet rope so that it doesn’t pull through when out on the water. At the boom end, this is so that the mainsheet can be pulled fully on so that it is in the block-to-block position. At the other end so that it doesn’t pull through the mainsheet block in the center of the cockpit. Leave it loose and un-cleated. Feed the outhaul rope along the boom also.  Next to the hull, lay the sail out and install the battens. Connect the 2 mast sections, and feed it up through the mast sleeve in the sail, making sure the boom spigot is in line with the sail. Also be careful to ensure that there is no mud or dirt on the bottom of the mast (this may over time cause abrasion between the bottom of the mast and the mast step, which may eventually compromise the integrity of the hull).  Ensuring there are no overhead obstructions (including power lines), from the bottom ½ of the mast, lift it up almost vertical (slightly leaning into the breeze may make it easier to handle), and slot it gently into the mast step hole. This may prove to be a little awkward, so obtain assistance if required  With the mast in place, slot the boom into the mast, and tie off the outhaul to the sail clew using a bowline, as shown in the knots section. Then attach the clew tie-down , making sure to tie it underneath the outhaul.  Attach the vang and cunningham . Tie a small loop in the end of the cunningham and feed the end of the vang pin through it. This will keep the eye of the cunningham down low near the deck, stopping it from riding up (see photo below). Then feed the cunningham through the 2 eyelets in the rope itself, then down to the eyelet on the deck, and run it back to the cleat in the cockpit. Tie a bowline in the end for easy gripping when on the water. A knot ( bowline or figure 8 knot ) in the end of the cunningham is essential, as it is the only thing preventing the rig from becoming completely detached from the hull when capsized.  Attach the Rudder & TillerAttach the rudder , making sure that the lift stop clicks into place, and leave it in the fully up position. Insert the tiller and fasten the retaining pin, ensuring that the tiller is underneath the traveler. Lay the centerboard on the deck. Put in the drain plug in the stern of the hull.  With the mainsheet eased right out, the boat should sit quite contently while you tidy up your gear, sail bag, etc. However, if there is a breeze, be careful that your dinghy will not tip over while it is on the dolly, or that the boom will swing around and hit someone. If it is windy, this is probably not the best time to be going out for a sail if you are a beginner. If you are not already dressed in your wetsuit, rash vest , life jacket, hat , sunscreen , glasses, shoes , etc, now is the time to do so. It’s a good idea to get someone to keep an eye on your boat and laser sailing gear if you have to go to the change rooms. Launching Your DinghyWith the mainsheet eased, carefully wheel the dolly around, down the ramp, and into the water. Keep the laser sailboat pointing into the wind as much as possible, however as long as the mainsheet is eased you should be able to manage ok as long as the wind is less than 90° to the hull. If possible, do not allow the wind to exceed 90° to the hull. Wheel the laser dolly into the water until it is fully submerged, and float the boat off the dolly. If you are on your own you may have to run the boat up onto the beach so that you can pull the dolly back out of the water (be careful not to damage the drain plug on the bottom of the hull, or the hull itself). Otherwise, get someone to pull your dolly out for you. With the boat pointing into the breeze, slide the centerboard into the fin case so that it is most of the way up, but low enough so that the boom clears the fin when it swings around. Run the elastic retaining strap up to the eyelet at the bow and back to the centerboard or mast (the tension in the elastic creates friction so that the centerboard will remain in place when capsized ). If you are in deep enough water, you will be able to push the rudder down or pull the rope attached to the rudder head, to rotate the rudder to its fully down position. If this can’t be achieved, then you may have to wait until you push the boat into deeper water to do this. Once the rudder is down, tie off the line, and make sure that you do not hit it on the bottom. Take every precaution to protect your foils. Now, you’re ready for your 1st sail . Laser Sailing Dinghy De-riggingWhen de-rigging, simply reverse the order of the above steps. If possible thoroughly wash all your gear in fresh water and dry all your gear before storage. Also take care when folding the laser sail to not create a crease in the sail window, as it will weaken and eventually crack.  More InformationAs mentioned, there are many different ways of rigging a Laser sailboat. Some have to do with personal preference of rigging order. Some differences also have to do with different types of gear and sailing accessories that you may have (eg. turbo kit, wind instruments, etc). We can’t cover every possible scenario here, so just have a go and see what works for you. Also, make sure to check out the video below which talks some more about rigging a Laser sailboat, and enjoy your laser sailing :) Previous: Sailing Knots Next: Your First Sail  In the Laser cunningham and vang photo there appears to be extra ropes attached for the outhaul could you please describe what was done to achieve that  Hi Kyle The outhaul is a separate rope that runs from the clew of the mainsail up and around the mast and through a cleet to lock it off at the desired tension. It is separate from the cunningham and vang. You can see more about it here . I hope that this helps to answer your question. If not, let me know. cheers Leave a Comment Cancel ReplyLaser Sailboat: Mastering Performance and Techniques for SuccessThe Laser sailboat is a popular single-handed, one-design sailing dinghy known for its simplicity and performance. Designed by Ian Bruce and Bruce Kirby in 1970, the Laser has become the world's most popular adult and youth sailboat, with over 225,000 boats in 140 countries.  The boat's versatility is a significant contributing factor to its popularity, as it can be customized for different sailors and conditions using three interchangeable rigs of different sail areas.

With a strong focus on sustainability, LaserPerformance, the leading producer of Laser sailboats, actively works to minimize the environmental impact of their products through ethical sourcing and manufacturing practices.  Key Takeaways
History and DevelopmentInception of the Laser SailboatThe Laser sailboat, an internationally popular one-design class, was conceived in 1969 by Bruce Kirby , a Canadian designer and former Olympian. He aimed to create an innovative design that was simple, affordable, and easy to sail. The prototype, originally called the "Weekender," was first introduced to the public in 1971 at the New York Boat Show . Its inaugural sail featured the insignia "TGIF," a reference to its early name. The boat's simplicity and performance attracted sailors of all skill levels, and by the early 1970s, it had become a commercial success. Laser Class EvolutionThe International Laser Class Association (ILCA) was established in response to the growing popularity of this sailboat. The ILCA sought to standardize the Laser's various specifications and ensure consistency across all boats. One of its key contributions has been the establishment of three interchangeable rigs: Standard, Radial, and 4.7 , which cater to different wind strengths and crew weights. This adaptability has made the Laser more accessible and appealing to a broader range of sailors.  The Laser's rise as an international class was further solidified when it became an Olympic class in 1996. The boat's simplicity, strict one-design nature, and large worldwide fleet have made it a staple of the Olympic sailing program. Its design has remained relatively unchanged since its inception, with only minor modifications being made to improve performance and durability . The Laser remains a popular choice for sailors globally, both competitive and recreational. Its unique combination of simplicity, adaptability, and performance has ensured its continued success as a one-design class, and the International Laser Class Association continues to play a crucial role in maintaining the consistency of the boat and promoting the sport of sailing around the world.

Key factors affecting the Laser's speed and stability include:
Sailor InteractionA significant aspect of the Laser sailboat's performance is the level of interaction between the sailor and the boat. As mentioned earlier, the Laser rewards sailors who possess excellent steering and trimming techniques, as well as a strong sense of tactical awareness. This interaction allows the Laser to perform at its best under various conditions. Sailors can further optimize their Laser sailboat's performance by:
Types of Laser SailboatsLaser sailboats are a type of one-design dinghies, which means that they follow strict design and manufacturing rules to ensure all boats in the Laser class are identical. The versatile laser class is widely popular as they offer different sail and rig sizes, catering to sailors of various ages, weights, and skill levels. Laser StandardThe Laser Standard , also known as the ILCA 7 , is the largest of the three laser rigs. This adult racing class boat features a 7.1 sqm sail, making it suitable for heavier and more athletic sailors. Laser RadialThe Laser Radial or ILCA 6 has a smaller 5.1 sqm sail. It is specifically tailored to lighter sailors, including women and youth sailors. The Radial's sail allows for better control and easier handling in various wind conditions. This provides a level playing field for a wide range of sailors in terms of age, weight, and experience level. Lastly, the Laser 4.7 or ILCA 4 features the smallest sail, measuring 4.7 sqm. This rig is designed for young sailors who are new to Laser sailing and need a more manageable sail size. The unique 4.7 lower mast section includes a pre-bend near the boom fitting, which allows the sail to depower more easily. This provides a more forgiving experience for new and younger sailors. Each Laser sailboat variant utilizes the same hull design, ensuring that the core sailing experience remains consistent across the board. This enables sailors to transition seamlessly between the different rig sizes as they progress in their sailing abilities. Competitive SailingRacing and RegattasThe Laser sailboat has been a popular choice in the sailing community for competitive racing due to its simplicity and one-design class. The Laser Class Association organizes races and regattas in various formats where sailors adhere to the class rules. The laser class has three different sail sizes - Laser Standard (ILCA 7), Laser Radial (ILCA 6), and Laser 4.7 (ILCA 4). These cater to sailors of different ages, weights, and abilities to participate in a single class. These characteristics make the Laser sailboat a widely sought-after option for sailors who are interested in competitive racing 1 . Olympic PresenceThe laser class has a strong presence in the Olympics, being recognized as an Olympic class sailing dinghy. Laser Standard (ILCA 7) and Laser Radial (ILCA 6) are the two divisions that have been part of the Olympic Games since 1996 and 2008, respectively. With its universal appeal and the level playing field it offers to sailors, the laser class has grown significantly in popularity over the years. It has achieved global recognition as a highly competitive sailing class in the Olympic Games. National and International ChampionshipsAlongside racing, regattas and their Olympic presence, the Laser Class Association also organizes various national and international championships. Among these events are the ILCA 4 Youth World Championship, scheduled to happen in Viana do Castelo, Portugal, in June 2024 2 . The World Championships typically attract top sailors from different nations, competing for the title of world champion. A list of major championships for laser sailing includes:
In addition to these flagship events, many national championships are also held regularly by various Laser Class Associations around the world. This fosters the growth of talented sailors and promotes the spirit of competition within the laser sailing community. Maintenance and UpkeepRoutine Care and MaintenanceLaser sailboats are known for their durability, but regular maintenance is essential to ensure their longevity and maintain resale value. Inspect the hull and foils for any damage or signs of wear. Also, check the steering systems, such as rudder and tiller, ensuring they are functioning smoothly without any wiggles. Regularly inspect tiller extension fittings for cracking and signs of potential breakage. Cleaning your sailboat after each use will help minimize the chance of damage from dirt, salt, and debris. Store sails, lines, and other equipment properly to avoid moisture damage, mold, and mildew growth. Verifying the functionality of the autobailer should also be a part of the routine maintenance process. Transport and StorageTransporting a Laser sailboat can be done with relative ease, as they are lightweight and their compact size allows for cartop transport. When cartopping your Laser, use appropriate padding and straps to secure the boat without causing damage to the hull, mast, or other components. As for storage, it is essential to keep your Laser sailboat in a covered and well-ventilated area, preferably on a dolly or custom cradle that supports the gunwales to prevent unnecessary stress on the hull. Moreover, ensure the mast and other equipment are safely stored alongside the boat. Periodically inspect the boat during storage to check for any signs of damage, moisture buildup, or rodent infestation. Laser Sailboat Community and CultureThe Laser sailboat has built a strong sense of community that extends across different countries. This community primarily revolves around clubs, associations, and social and recreational sailing. Clubs and AssociationsA significant part of the Laser sailing community is the involvement in clubs and associations at various levels. The International Laser Class Association (ILCA) is the governing body that brings together Laser sailors from all around the world. This association is responsible for maintaining the one-design principles, organizing international events, and promoting Laser sailing as a high-quality, competitive sport. At a local level, numerous clubs are home to passionate Laser sailors. Club racing is a popular form of competition within the community, offering a friendly yet competitive environment for sailors to test their skills. There are also regional associations supporting the growth of the Laser sailing community in their respective areas. Example of Laser clubs:
Social and Recreational SailingThe Laser sailboat's appeal extends beyond competitive racing, with many enthusiasts enjoying the boat for its simplicity and versatility in social and recreational sailing. The Laser community is known for organizing events that cater to various interests and skill levels, ensuring that everyone has a chance to find their niche. Some common social and recreational sailing events include:

Laser Sailing Tips: Why Good Rigging MattersA regular at the Laser Masters worlds and championships across Europe, Max Hunt runs Southeast Sailboats – a small business that provides custom made rigging solutions - www.southeastsailboats.co.uk A look around the dinghy park at a major Laser event shows there is no right way to rig your control lines. Much of how we rig our Laser is down to what we are comfortable with, maybe we just haven’t changed what seems to work, or perhaps we don’t think that good rigging matters. Having good controls is important as it takes one more variable out of your racing: they are strong and well built, they allow you to trim your sail correctly even when you are tired, they are always rigged the same – all of which provide psychological and mechanical advantages. No matter how you rig your Laser, in a world of marginal gains, good rigging can make a difference by reducing risk of failure, maximizing ease of use and consistency. What can be done? Your rigging should be easy to fit in the same way from event to event so that nothing changes and your calibration remain consistent. It should also be secure – barely a major event goes by without seeing someone suffer rigging failure. Avoiding tying and untying knots is one way of achieving these first two objectives. Having some of your lines and blocks spliced, providing it is done properly, can give you both consistency and increased security. The latest generation of blocks is designed to be ‘soft attached’ using Dyneema® or similar line but tying them on incorrectly can result in the block being pulled apart at the head. A good solution is to Brummel (lock) to splice them in the right position in the first place. Soft attach blocks such as these from Harken can fail if incorrectly attached. The tied on blocks on the left are marginal – under load, the line is starting to pull the head of the block apart. Splicing these blocks on correctly is a safer option. Pro Laser Sailboat Rigging: Rudder & Tiller Also, for example at the clew, instead of tying on blocks, small Dyneema loops can be used as a more secure alternative, whether you prefer a shackle, hook or a block attached to the clew. Simple and secure – Dyneema loops are an effective solution to attaching a 29mm Carbo Block to your clew shackle or hook. Smaller blocks such as Ronstan’s 20mm Orbit block used with a spliced loop can be threaded through the clew and back through the loop. A third objective is to ensure our systems are easy to use by making them more effective and efficient by choosing the right blocks, ropes, and considering more purchases. Increasing purchase is most appropriate for the cunningham when using the new heavier MKII standard sail, and as the range of travel on the new sail is smaller, it reduces the 8:1 downside of more rope in the cockpit. When considering block types, larger sheave sizes up to the maximum 30mm allowed under class rules, increase efficiency due to their reduced rolling resistance, and these can make a real difference particularly on the highly loaded cunningham. Here, blocks such as Harken’s 29mm T2 Soft-Attach Carbo blocks are ideal. Effective, efficient systems reduce the effort you need to put into changing your settings, making accurate adjustments faster and easier, especially when you are tired. Southeast Sailboats fully spliced 8:1 cunningham is specially designed for the new MKII standard sail. The lower block assembly is passed through the loop on the primary and then under the kicker tang to fix it all in place. No knots to tie or come undone, no shackles or pins to undo. Effective, efficient, consistent, secure. When it comes to rope types much is down to personal preference or maybe it was just what was available at the time. There are a lot of performance criteria in rope selection but for control lines on the Laser, the most important is minimal stretch under load so that settings remain unchanged, whilst being strong, low in friction and friendly on the hands. Slippery Dyneema® SK78 D12 is the default choice for primary lines. The cunningham primary must do a 180 through the tack cringle/grommet and minimizing friction is important as pulling the cunningham on is hard enough. The cunningham primary line diameter is a compromise between having a thin line that risks getting trapped in the gooseneck, or thicker line and greater friction. The outhaul primary also has to do a 180 through the boom end eye but with a lighter load than the cunningham and a larger bend radius. Whereas primary lines should be slippery, our secondary lines should be ‘hands friendly’ both in terms of diameter and grip. Polyester / Technora® covered and/or Dyneema® cored 4mm line is the default here although some sailors are using naked 4mm D12 SK78. Good color usage on secondary lines is vital, ensuring that you can quickly distinguish and instantly grab the correct control line. Rope lengths should also be set ‘just right’ to minimize excess line in the cockpit, and so you can use the handle to maximum effect. With everything set up perfectly you can minimize mistakes and tangles and maximize the consistency, effectiveness and security of your controls. Finally, little things like frayed rope end, outer covers that are separating from their cores, knots to try and tie in a consistent place can result in lost time rigging, or more worryingly frustration, when we should be concentrating on what is important. Having all our rigging clean with spliced lines, and properly stitched or sealed rope ends can help eliminate this potential source of psychological disadvantage. The top mainsheet core is starting to pull out of the cover making rigging frustrating. Worse still if the cover is pulling off and your stopper knot doesn’t hold the core. The lower mainsheet end has been stitched with Dyneema and covered with heat shrink sleeving secured with epoxy adhesive. In competitive situations where marginal gains are important, just like having straight spars, aligned foils, a polished hull, and a good sail having a well-rigged Laser mean that you haven’t let that element to chance.

If you are finding your outhaul is very difficult to adjust it may be time to upgrade your system. In this article, we walk you through what you'll need and how to make a Laser 6-1 Outhaul System step by step. Items You Will NeedYou can also buy the full Laser Outhaul Kit on our website. Some ropes will need to be cut to your correct length once the system is made. This system is tied together with knots however, we would always recommend when working with Dyneema lines to splice them as this is stronger than knots.
The first part of the Outhaul System is going to be the clew block and hook. There are lots of different ways that people rig this. We will do it per the instructions you receive with a new boat. Take one of the 18mm blocks, the clew hook and one length of the 3mm race rope. Tie a stopper knot in one end of the line and thread it through the centre of the block and up through the top of the block. Now grab your clew hook and thread the line through and back down into the top of the block. Lastly back through the middle of the block and tie another figure of 8.  Primary Dyneema Take your length of 3mm Dyneema and tie a bowline around the eye on the boom end. Now thread your line through the clew block from step one and the Dyneema back through the boom eye. The rope will then run along the boom towards the front of the boat.  Control line Take your 4mm Race rope and an 18mm block. Thread the 4mm line about 3 inches through the centre of the block. Now with the Primary Dyneema thread it into the top of the same 18mm and tape both lines together using the photo below as a reference.  Pull both through and tie a bowline in each.  Take your next 18mm block and a length of 3mm race rope and tie it into the cleat on the boom. This should face backwards down the boom towards the back of the boat.  Control line Now thread the control line from the bowline you have tied through the mid-block tied to the boom and back through the block the bowline is tied onto going around the sheave. This will create your 6 to 1 purchase.  Take your last 18mm block and 3mm race top and tie a bowline around the block and the loose end will be tied around the lower mast where the boom and mast meet. This block acts as the turning point where the control line rope goes along the boom and down towards the deck plate. The control line rope will then go through the deck block at the bottom of the mast and backwards through the cleats on the deck.  Elastic/ Shockcord Thread the shockcord through the cleat on the top of the boom then tie a stopper knot. Now the other end can be tied to the sail or the clew hook as shown below.  If you have any questions on the Laser 6 to 1 outhaul system please get in touch with our team who are always happy to help. Recent Articles
Let customers speak for usMakes a more secure anchorage than a stopper knot A stock of rope and cordage is essential for the proper function of any sailing club. Floating and non-floating rope are needed equally. This is a good product, at a reasonable price - if bought on the reel. My first Zhik spray top, but just like the rest of the gear from Zhik the combination of design, material selection and style are spot on. I’ve been wearing the top in the Dragon, Edinburgh Cup where there has been a rain and significant spray at time. The top has kept me warm and dry. Especially impressed with the neck seal. Dry, yet not constricting. Boots arrived quickly and were a great fit Very Good A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Service excellent as always . The pads are great for laser sailing Just what I was looking for, good to be able to buy any number of toggles I needed. I bought some kingfisher spliceable rope to replace a continuous control line. It's an easy splice and that's down to the quality of the rope supplied by the Sailing Chandlery. It’s a nice halyard thing and strong, and looped through itself it has a slim profile. Also I need extra length and sailing chandlery where happy to add it on for me! Greatt! A perfect match, installed and working well.

Guide to Laser Sail and Rig Sizes Over 200,000 Laser sailboats have been built over the last 40 years, more than most other small dinghy sailboats. In this article we are going to answer one of the most common questions we get: What size rig do I have? This will help answer what size sail and/or rig you already have and what size sail and/or rig you need to purchase to update your Laser. What size rig / sail do I have? Standard vs. Radial vs 4.7 Explained The Laser sailboat has had a number of different rig sizes, with the intention of making the boat sailable by a wide range of sailors (and different sailor weights) by simply swapping out the lower mast section and sail while keeping all other components the same. There are currently three different rig sizes and they are commonly referred to as 'Standard', 'Radial' and '4.7'. Below you will find an image that shows the three rigs side by side, and in the following section we'll explain each one.  Laser Standard / MK2 / ILCA 7 This is the most common Laser rig size, and the original rig on the boat when it was designed. It features a 7.06 square meter sail (about 76 square feet). In 2018, the Laser Class approved a new 'Standard' sail, which is referred to as the 'MKII' or 'Mark 2' to distinguish it from the first version. The difference, among other things, is in the panels. The original 'Standard' sail featured horizontal cut panels. The new MkII sail has radial cut panels. There is no difference in size between these two versions, and as of 2020 all new Laser Standard sails are available in this updated cut.  How to tell if you have a 'Standard' sail: The first and most obvious way to tell if you have a 'Standard' sail is to look at the panels. If they are horizontal, it is most likely a standard sail. Next, you can measure the luff (the front edge of the sail along the mast sleeve). This measurement should be about 5130 mm or 200 inches from the top of the sail to the bottom. How to tell if you have a 'Standard' lower mast section: The 'Standard' lower mast section should measure about 2865 mm or 113 inches . It is a fairly stout mast section compared to the two smaller mast sections. Laser Radial / ILCA 6 Originally called the 'M' rig when first designed, the Laser 'Radial' sail is smaller than the 'Standard' sail at 5.76 square meters (62 square feet). At the time, it was the only Laser sail to feature the radial cut panels, which allowed the sail to be de-powered more easily in bigh winds. Per the notes about the 'Standard' rig above, both the Standard and Radial sail feature the radial cut design. Another typical indicator of a Radial size sail are the blue panels at the tack and clew of the sail.  How to tell if you have a 'Radial' sail: The first and most obvious way to tell if you have a 'Standard' sail is to look at the panels. If they are radial, as in emanating out from the center, it is most likely a radial sail. Next, you can measure the luff (the front edge of the sail along the mast sleeve). This measurement should be about 4560 mm or 180 inches from the top of the sail to the bottom. How to tell if you have a 'Radial' lower mast section: The 'Radial' lower mast section should measure about 2262 mm or 89 inches . It is also a bit smaller in diameter than the standard section. Laser 4.7 / ILCA 5 The Laser 4.7 (or ILCA 5) is the smallest of the three Laser sails and was designed for young sailors just getting into Laser sailing. The 4.7 lower mast section is also different from the others in that is has a pre-bend near the boom fitting, allowing the sail to depower much easier. This is the least common Laser sail size, and if you have an old one around, chances are it is not a 4.7 sail.  How to tell if you have a '4.7' sail: The 4.7 is similar to the old 'Standard' sail as it has cross cut panels. Many 4.7 sails also have an obvious 4.7 logo somewhere on the cloth. Next, you can measure the luff (the front edge of the sail along the mast sleeve). This measurement should be about 4080 mm or 160 inches from the top of the sail to the bottom. How to tell if you have a '4.7' lower mast section: The '4.7 lower mast section has a pre-bend in it and should measure about 1810 mm or 71 inches . The bend is the easiest way to tell it apart from the others. The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)<< Previous page Pages: 379-406 In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Rusmania • Deep into Russia Out of the CentreSavvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.  Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Belfry and Neighbouring Churches Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco. Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.  Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved. Tsaritsa's Chambers The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.  At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery. Palace of Tsar Alexis The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
