Sorry, I sold my boat a while ago.

I'll try this too.. Maybe it will work

Ok I found a way to post a picture of the rock wall as an avatar (sorry couldn't do better. If you click on the picture you'll see a bigger one in my profile.) The cabin is at the right of the wall so I'd have to lift it to the other side and then put it back on the dolly to roll it to the...

By the way, Since French is my first language I don't get what you mean here... "I found the easiest method is the 4 poles and brakets you can get at the harware stores near marinas and water (I get that part). I just butt the 2x6 (what does that mean, to butt the 2x6?) and deck screw them...

Hi guys, Thanks for the ideas. I'm in Québec City. I'll try to figure out how to post a picture here. I think the beach dolly would be the easiest way to deal with my problem. I can't moor there and ramps was my second idea but taking them away for the winter is a pain in the neck (at...

Hi all, I just bought a riverside cabin :D . Since I have St-Lawrence river just steps from my cabin you can bet that I tought of sailing my Laser from there...The problem is this: even though my lot is right by the river it is separated from it by a rock wall about 3 feet high. Those rocks...

Hi guys, I read what you had to say about outdoors winter storage and here is what I intend to do for this winter since I don't have a place to keep my Laser inside at least this winter. First make sure that there is no water left in the boat. Then, cover up the mast step in some way to...

Hi guys, the link is not working anymore. Anyone knows where to find those videos? Thanks

Hi again, I read the thread about cleaning your boat and was interested by what Yaesumusen said. He says that his deck was cream and turned white using some cleaning product. Since I've seen a brand new Laser with a magnificent white deck I wonder if back in the eighties (mine is a 82) decks...

Hi guys, My Laser is at my lake lot now, waiting for me for our first ride (I was willing to follow a couple of classes before it) My question is: Since it is resting on 3 tires (on the hull, not upside down) is it ok to cover it with a big tarp to avoid the sun and rain on it? I don't...

Hi Jesùs, Why did you choose epoxy over Sikaflex?

Here are the pics Here they are...You'll see the hull/deck split and I enclose a picture of my mast step to get your opinion about it too. The guy at the boat shop (in fact they sell boat stuff AND they repair boats) said I could put Sicaflex (sp.?) in the splits for this summer and see what...

Hi guys, My Laser is an old 82...but I just bought it so that's why I said it's new. I'd like to post the pictures but can someone teach me how? Thanks

Hi all, My "new" Laser is not perfect. It has some spots where the hull and deck are beginning to split, to unstick, I don't know what would be the correct term for it. I did the soap test as advised here: http://www.windline.net/proj4.htm and found no bubbles (good news I suppose). Since...

Hi Jon, That's the website I was talking about. It says my boat is from 1982. But my sail has 81 in it not 82 and since my boat # is ZFS94783M81B, Rob said it was from 81. That's why I'm a bit confused. Any clue for me?
