Would a laser rig fit on a sunfish hull?
Why would you want too?
Well, it you had a laser rig and acess to a plan hull, wondering if anyone has tried it.

The right place would have decent winds, and a good place to put the boat in and take out.
Timing to run with the currents would be essential, but real doable.
I know of places to put in or out Niantic, groton, mytic and stonington.
It makes sense to go from east to west in that part...
I was on vacation this fall and took my laser on top of the old car and went to Block Island Rhode Island this past september.
It was great, sailing was ausome, the family had an awesome time (Before:I don;t want to go to that beach, After: can we come here tomarrow...next year)...
My 78 laser has cracking in the hull bottom, likely caused in the past by a sailing club that let the boat sit on it's bottom on a hard surface (a guess on my part). Ofter several years of ownership, it is gettling a little worse, and I am looking for ideas to stem the rate of decline or better...
If you can launch the boat without getting the wheels wet, you will be so far ahead of the game. My laser trailer, I do not dip it, just get to the were the tires are at the waters edge and pull the boat off.
My Islander daysailer needs to have the bearing grease replaced each fall (you can...
You got me beat by a mile, I had 11 teens on my 17 foot Islander (daysailer type) and the centerboard cable hole in the inner hull was under the new water line,......She gets a little sluggish under those conditions, took and hour to bail it out. 19 wow.
Re: Clydesdale in a Laser-The more the Merrier
My record is 5 people on the laster while in high school. I actual fell off the back because it was so cramped during a tack.
Three adults in 5 foot waves after a tropical storm was awsome, the waves crashing over the deck did sweep my...
I have an old 88 laser with some cracks in the gel coat at the base of the centerboard. The hull appears to be flexing in at this point.
What would be the best way to reinforce it??
Any thoughts would be appreciated, The easy way would be to lay fiberglass on the outside and fair it, it...
I have sailed recreationally since 77 on a laser. I recently entered a district 7 race with 32 boats with my old boat.
My starts were second row at best, mostly third row starts,
Finished once last (sailed into BIG hole near shore, dumb)
Finished 22 twice and 25 once.
If I upgrade my...
I just bought an older laser which sat upright on a trailer for 8 years.
Well, you guessed it, the cockpit drained plugged up with stuff, the cockpit fills to the breather hole in the hull, and about 25 gallons of water was resting comfortably within the hull over the years.
Good news, the...
