 Laser Radial Tuning Guide
The Laser mainsheet controls the angle of the boom until it is pulled over the corner of the boat, at which time it begins to also control mast bend.
As a result, as the Laser mainsheet is pulled tighter, bending the mast and flattening the sail, it reduces leech/batten hook or "return" and opens the leach.
Broad reaching in a Laser isn’t very effective, but sailing by the lee definitely is. The goal is to reverse the flow on the sail from the normal direction to a leech to luff direction.

 Laser Radial in, Europe Out - Sailing Anarchy Forums
I dunno, the radial just seems a nicer boat to me than the big-rig Laser, but then again I'm more Radial size (out here we sail Radials to a greater weight 'cause it's fairly windy)/
After all, the Finn is basically a Swedish C Class canoe with the stern and mizzen cut off, and the little hiking planks removed (although as early as the '60s they started thinkin about putting them back in).
A consolation for the heartache that this change causes europe owners,,,their sailing just got a lot less pricey.,and so did anyone's (of pip-squeek size)who likes to have good competition......also,,if you're happy with used laser gear,,the USED market price probably dropped some amount as well.
