September 2007 - Some price adjustments are underway due to the Canadian dollar now being on par with the US Dollar. Although the merchandise is purchased in USD of GBP, all our accounting is done in CAD, so if the USD is worth less, we have less revenues but our cost of the goods does not change.

The upside to those north of the border is that we should be able to start cutting Canadian pricing as we get new stock.

Rooster 8.1 Rig - We are excited about the new supersized 8.1 rig for your Laser. Currently in its first full season in the UK we will be stocking these in the 07/08 winter for the 2008 season. Being one of the heavier masters sailors at 190+ lbs I am looking forward to getting my hands on this new rig. Although Steve Cockerill suggests its for 90 kg and up, here's what a lighter sailor had to say on the Rooster UK website

Rooster Carbon Tillers - We have brought in a few carbon tillers. Due to exchange rates, UK manufacture, and shipping costs to the end user, they are not cheap, but as far as we know they are the lightest carbon tiller on the market. They are guaranteed to fit your Laser rudder stock. They are of hollow section construction throughout the length of the tiller thus tops in terms of strength for weight. More....

Rashguards, now in Charcoal and Sky Blue (M, L and XL) and three patterns for women in sizes 8 through 14. More....

Semi Dri Tops & Hi Fit Trousers - We have brought in a few semi-dry big boat waterproofs for review and testing. We hope to carry these in good numbers for 2008 season. Stay tuned
