Vanguard says the wooden blades on the old Lasers are Mahogany!! Cool.

what kind of wood were these old blades made of anyway? Teak maybe? Did they stain them before finishing them with whatever varnish they used? Whatever they did, they look great.

Not planning on racing. Just want to restore an old classic and sail it for fun.

Just got hold of a '74. Very nice condition, with beautifull dark wooden daggerboard, rudder and tiller and Holt-Allen (England) hardware. Bottom edges of daggerboard and rudder a little scratched up. Would like to refinish/varnish those edges without screwing up the main wooden sections...
