I've only sailed a Laser once, and that for just a few minutes.  Not
enough to really get a feel for it.  There are almost no Holder 12
owners around  here.  In all the time I've been sailing it, I have seen
two others.  There are persistant rumors that some areas have fleets of
them ....
I'm not a racer.  The rules are too complicated and the egos too
large.  For me, sailing is fun and fitness.  Let the other guys fight
over  trophies.
Does Hobie even still make the Holder boats?  I bought mine 11 years
ago  (sail number 790).
