It appears that I will be interning at the NUWC in Newport this summer and living at Roger Williams University. I would like to bring my laser if there is a local fleet. I know fleet 413 is very active for frostbiting, but is there anything going on in the summer? If not in Newport, is there...
Lorain Sail and Yacht Club will be hosting the Spitzer Cup Regatta Aug 5-6, 2006. We are really hoping to have a Laser fleet and everyone is encouraged to bring out their boats and do some Lake Erie racing. Registration starts at 8:30am for one designs on Saturday morning with a skippers...
Any have the scoop on this year's Great Lakes Champs at Gull Lake? I can't seem to find any regristration information or a NOR. Someone help a brother out, I wanna go to this regatta!!
Kevin,
congrats on your regatta! It's pretty awesome that you got the whole thing put together and planned. I hope you have a great turnout and that the weather agrees for the racing. Wish I could make it, but I will still be here at school in Florida. Good luck this summer, I'll be...
Janet,
My sail is 175117, and my boat is purple. Cool to hear that you are from leatherlips, Ben and Dan are both great guys and a lot of fun to sail against. Sorry you missed monday, it was wild out there. Thanks again for the photos.

Merrily,
Thanks for the Jr. Bay pics. The regatta rocked this year, monday was one of the most fun days of Laser sailing I have ever had. It was too bad they sent us in during the morning, I was surfing past the Thistles! Those are great pics of B course, I see Caitlin and Jake were leading...
I am replacing the old leaking inspection port on my newly acquired '94 and when my dad (figures) removed the old female part of the port, small pieces of fiberglass from the deck were pulled up by the 5200 that was used to seal the old port. The areas of damage are very small and shallow, and...
I would highly, highly recommend the sunsail resort, especially as a junior sailor. I had the oppurtunity to vacation there when I was 14 (18 now) and It was an awesome week. As a junior sailor from northern Ohio it was great to be sailing in shorts in the middle of march and to get a chance...
I am currently a high school senior in Ohio and plan to attend Florida Atlantic University next fall. Currently, FAU does not have a sailing team so I am in need of a place to race. I was wondering if anyone knows of clubs in the Boca Raton or Ft. Lauderdale area that have active Laser or...
Two questions for those out there that are wiser than I. First, how much weight can be placed on top of a laser that is on a kitty hawk trailer. My dad and I built a system very similar to a lockpit that sits in my cockpit and holds my blades and spars. However, this system is probably...
Hope everyone in the laser sailing family has a great holiday. Santa was kind to me this year with a $50 APS gift certificate and sailing angles shorts. Also, I may be in the process of upgrading to a newer hull which would be an amazing christmas present. Unfortunately, Cleveland Ohio is...
Scott-
Thanks for the advice. To answer your question I have upgraded my vang, I did this first because the old vang would never release around the windward mark, inhibiting downwind speed. Also, I upgraded the vang first because I could simply pin the new system on without worrying about...
I work at a sail loft and have found no easy way to remove sail numbers besides just ripping them off. As for the residue, we rub white marking chalk where the sail is sticky. This method seems to neutralize the adhesive and give the residue a white color. This method is especially useful if...
