I've got several small marks on my deck that look like they might be bits of rust from old fittings, and I cant seem to get rid of them, I've use something called a 3G Compound, no idea what its for, but it doesn't seem to work. Has anyone got any advice on the best way to get rid of these marks?

I'll buy one

I was there, he wasn't going fast.

It depends on whos sailing each boat.

Great, thanks for the advice!

I was wondering how a light board/number plate can be attached to a laser being towed, I have a trolley & road base system, and don't know how to attach it. Should I just lash it on with some rope? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I'll fix it for you today, just remember - you need two lines for it

The block only got stuck when tacking slowly, in which case I just gave an extra tug on the mainsheet

ok, thanks, I'll try loosening my traveller

Got a picture:

I guess it must be the traveller block then, as I bought it from a guy at my club, so it hasn't been in transit. I will try and get a photo today, so you know what I am on about. Thanks.

Ah, I bought it second hand. I think it is 11 years old, but in near pristine condition. This worn-patch certainly wasn't there when I bought it.

The gel coat on the starboard side below the traveller, right next to the fairlead, has been worn down to the fibreglass. I think it was the block that did this. As I have only owned a laser for about a month, I cannot work out why this has happened, so any help would be greatly appreciated...
