Introduction 

Rooster Sailing Ltd has finished testing and development of a new class of boat - the Rooster 8.1

It's a new rig that is compatible with the Laser^® yet delivers an amazing performance that would suit anyone over 90Kg. The recommended handicap number for the Rooster 8.1 is 1051. Available with two different mast options. Choose between a complete aluminium lower mast or a reinforced glass extender piece that fits into your existing Standard rig lower mast. The Rooster 8.1 sail is constructed with long life and performance in mind. In addition to 4oz Dacron cloth in the main body, the leech is constructed of Mylar, as this is where the highest loads occur. This means that permanent leech stretch is reduced to almost zero. Leech flutter in between battens is eliminated. The Bi-radial construction contributes to increased cloth stability and so making the sail easier to control its power. The large window also helps with visibility when racing. Mainsheet loads are slightly less than the Standard rig, and vang loads are slightly higher. The rig is more like a Jaguar than a Porche, which means you get a steady power delivery upwind. Its downwind performance is amazing once you are past the beam and planing is easy in most conditions. Rudder loads are reduced too.
