That's what I'm going with except there is no way to prove that Holt made this deck plate. It came in a package with a whole bunch of Holt parts but there is nothing on the actual plate showing Holt, Laser, or any other distinguishing factors (see original picture). It almost looks like they...

Come to Minnesota. On lake Minnetonka there are at least 2 Laser races a week and if you are willing to travel around the cities I think you can race every night of the week. The water is still pretty chilly but there are some pick up races on the weekend already and weeknight races start at the...

And that's why I'm a little confused. According to their website the package that I purchased, which included this part, states that it is class legal. From what I'm hearing here that may not be the case.

How can I tell if my little deck plate is builder supplied? I ordered it from Intensity who claim it is class legal (http://www.intensitysails.com/holatupoforo.html) but it doesn't have the little Laser stamp that I've seen on everyone else's.

Well I broke down and bought myself a laser the other week. Everything has been going good with it except for my hiking strap broke. In the process of installing a new one I noticed there is a small (<3mm) hole on the wall in the front of the cockpit directly under the hiking strap. Is that hole...

Haha you're missing out man. Sailing lasers isn't that humbling until you have to ask a 15 year old girl for help getting your laser out of the water :D

So deeman since I just started sailing lasers this year I pretty much suck at the whole launching and retrieval thing too. Here are some techniques I have developed. At our yacht club we have a dock area for launching the lasers and the wind is almost always blowing in towards shore which makes...

So this is my first summer sailing lasers and I'm still figuring things out. Right now I'm just borrowing a friends boat once in a while to sail on which means I'm generally out sailing by myself (he uses it on race night so I never get to race) and have nobody to compare my sailing against...
