Laser daggerboard grip

I have just finished sanding and re-painting my daggerboard for my laser because it had a lot of scratches in it from being pulled up and down out of the case. I know in toppers it is legal to put like a stickyback foam (poligrip??) on the inside of the case to stop this from happening, it also limits the wobbly movement inside the case. Is this legal in lasers? and where do I get hold of some?

thanks

It is against class rules to pack your centreboard case, you may have noticed no one has done it! If you were allowed to do it everyone would...

The joys of Laser sailing, no boat work  (I recently packed my rudder and centreboard on the 49er and it is not a lot of fun )

Putting in packing is not a small change! Good packing takes hours of work and would add a hell of a lot to the price of the boat. Most companies put in reasonable packing (works but is not great) and then the top sailors rip it out and put in their on. Once again in example you can spend a week in the boat shed sorting out a brand new 49er to get it race ready.

The new control lines make the Laser easier (and more fun) to sail but do not increase the speed. The top guys do not go any faster but those towards the back of the fleet will probably be able to get around the course quicker!

How do you pack the case in the 49er?

The Topper dinghy has bladders.

Packing does come down to personnal choice but options include evostick and progrip, sikalfex, webbing and expoxy. It really pays to have the foils tightly packed (an effort to get in and out) and perfectly aligned.
