Hello all, I'm adding spar tubes to my trailer system. I'd like to put a full rig in each tube with enough room so I'm not cramming them in. I'm going between a 6" and an 8" diameter. What has been working well on other rigs?

Looking for people in the westerly, stonington, or mystic area who wants to sail tomorrow around 11. I'm in severe need of a sparing partner

Help!! I've been an avid laser sailor for about 5 or 6 years now. Never a top level guy, but definately a weekend warrior. However, a few weeks ago in my frostbite sailing I had a awful crash and burn. To the point where I couldnt get the boat righted and had to be towed home. Since then, Im...

sailing is a disease to which there was no cure. I was awoken from sleep the other night by sounds of ratchet blocks clicking and sails luffing on the beach. I awoke and there were no boats around. Fell asleep and awoken by the same thing. It had been 3 weeks since I'd been laser sailing...

Rain... not a big deal. It's a boat.... its designed to get wet :D. However, how big is your bed? I have a full sized pickup wiht a 6 1/2 ft bed. I transproted my first laser from RI to MA with the transom up against the back of the cab, tailgate down, and lots of tiedowns. Even so, the bow...

I would have hailed at about 8 boatlengths out. If he got into my comfort zone I would have tacked to avoid and protested.

you mean no triangles??!!!! Sure I'll give it a shot

A slow reach home as the sun sets and the wind dies after a long, full, hard day of Laser sailing. Doesnt have to be racing... just has to be fun.

This subject is re-discussed at least 4 times a year. Use the search function and you will find everything you need to know. I'm a very enthusiastic laser sailor who has tried both. North or Hyde... neither one has made me spring to the front of the pack. Unless you're a very top tier laser...

I used it extensively on both my boats. I bought it as soon as it was released, as I like new shiney things. On my raceboat I went back to the velcro clew strap about 2 yrs ago. I wont go back. I still have the sleeve on my guest boat, but it's coming off soon. Reason I switched back: the...

Theyre the same thing. One is pre-rigged and one you have to run.

I support option #1

I doubt half a mm will make much difference. I have a 6mm Maffioli for regular breeze and a 8mm Bzzz for big breeze. I think i've used the Bzzz once or twice. 6mm has been fine for me in almost all conditions... especially if you wear gloves.
