Advantages: Great fun and easy to sail Disadvantages: Initial concerns about laser build quality
Following a bit of research around other sailing centres I decided to try the Laser 2000 - I was looking for a boat to suit beginners and more experienced sailors, young people and adults alike. The "demo" boat proved to be well balanced and great fun to sail, the quality of fittings was good and the systems were simple and worked well.
The boat is a good tool for introducing beginners to the latest generation of boats and provides a stable platform to introduce asymetric kites, with no trapeze and a clear cockpit layout it looks set to replace the old wayfarers in our fleet.

Oh my god, modern warfare 2 is out and I?ve got it. With over 7 million copies sold world wide, on released date, modern warfare has no shortage of people to play with. Modern warfare 2 is the sequel to most probably the best shooter of all time (until this one) and this one expands and improves in almost everyway. There has been a lot of controversy about certain content which personally I don?t see that much of a problem with but if you don?t want to see it you can block that section out so what?s the biggy. Modern warfare 2 contains a brilliant campaign which although some reviewers such as ign say is to short i think it is perfect as it makes a good story, ends it very well and if it was to long I wouldn?t get the extra hours on multiplayer, Multiplayer has been further improved as I will ...
