    What Bottom Paint For Laser?

    I have successfully used Rustoleum's marine paint - I think I used the topside paint since the boat is trailered. Home Depot sells it. There is some info on the web about this paint. It really needs a hardener since it takes forever to dry. If you can't find any good info, let me know and I...

    Major Repairs

    Wow! What an undertaking! It looks like you are not afraid to dig into a project! It would be helpful to know where you are located too, since as someone else suggested a donor hull may not be a bad option. However, I know there is a lot of fun and pride that go into a project like this. I...

    I have seen this method referenced several times, but I don't think the info is on the site any longer. I looked around and could not find it. Maybe I am missing it. Is there a better link?

    Dan Dang!! Love the speed puck, hate the price....lol. CSKUDDER - how do you keep your GPS waterproof in the event of a capsize? I know they are typically very water resistant and will keep spray and drops out, but submerged......?

    GPS or gadget for recording sailing tracks and data

    I hope this has not been covered before - I searched for awhile with no results. Is there a GPS or specific gadget that can track the sailing for the day? Some sort of recorder to show where you went, how fast you went, etc? Something along the lines of a GPS recorder? I see some races post...

    pre-rigging for launch - how to prepare for dock type launch?

    One last thought (for those who care lol) I noticed on Youtube that Jon Emmet rigs his entire sail on the ground - vang, outhaul and all. Then lowers the completed rig into the mast step. I may have to try that the next time. The only thing was that in his video there was very little wind...
