The later year Sunfish Laser boats were great As were the Vanguard Boats and early laser Performance Boats. There was a 6 month grouping of LP boats that are a cancerous bunch with rail splitting and falling apart. Some hard sailors are having problems with the last 2 years of L.P. boats. I...
I guess LP was with holding boats for the 2017 worlds, they had no intention to ship them until the customer, the Charter Supplier, informed them that LP had a Paid in Full contract with him not ISCA and that LP would be liable for all expenses incurred by not delivering the boats.
Once that...
I believe Intensity Sails has sails and rudder blade in stock. Really a great company. Totally picking up where the factory ignores. No one has done more to keep old lasers on the water than them.
In newer boats that noise mostly means that a cap has come loose from the cubetainers, in all boats it can mean that a chunk of glue has come loose. Maybe the excess from the cockpit or maststep joint?
The laser class handbook had a good example of the mast tie down.
I run Cunningham on left. It's my preference for no reason but that's what I do.
I have deck cleats. Use them rarely but like having the option. Once again it's personal preference.
When making your decision keep in mind that the Silva/Nexus 103 compass has been around for over 20 years. The one I use belonged to a buddy, he sailed with it in High School, 1987-1992.
The Other model you mentioned looks very very nice but has only been around since 2014, as per their...

The biggest gain I ever made was the summer I was able to get out sailing. 90 percent of the time it was by myself. Once you get the feel for steering smooth it won't matter who is with you.

100 gybes
100 upwind rounding

Lots to read and think about here. Nothing is wrong....here is my 2 cents.
1. There is no better way to get better than practice. So just go sailing.
2. Always get clear air. If you start 3rd and 4th row. Look for the bailout. Even if it's the wrong way head there untill you get clear air.

We are talking about carrying a water bottle on the boat folks.......not a new way to hide an electric motor.
Ok then please explain to me the "unfair advantage" that comes from carrying a water bottle in an unapproved method?
If a person becomes dehydrated they become a danger to...
Label me a cheater if you want but......unless your in the top tier of national and world domination just do what you need and what you find easy to use for your water bottle. Who cares if it's legal. It's just water.
