    '82 laser, worth the trouble?

    I have the grab rails, but one is broken in half(other is fine), figured i'd buy new ones. My dad had an older laser as well and mentioned the wooden rudder/daggerboard, i have seen wood in some spots, but for the most part i think you are right with them being fiberglass :mad:. After some...

    '82 laser, worth the trouble?

    Thanks, Pez! It's really confusing knowing what I actually need with all of these "upgraded vang/harken/cunninghams" available. I didn't think i did too bad until i realized how much i would be spending on tools, supplies, etc. Saw one with trailer/original gelcoat/etc for $750 last night...

    '82 laser, worth the trouble?

    I will definitely look into it. After some reading last night those seemed to be the two most important things. To check the mast step do i just fill it up and see if it leaks? Like wise with the union, fill up the joint with some water and look for leaks? The guy said he fixes boats for a...

    '82 laser, worth the trouble?

    I've been wanting to learn how to sail for years and my dad always used to tell me how fun his laser was 20 or so years ago, so i figure if i can get into one cheap.. why not. So here's the story, I went to look at a 82' today for $400, came with everything, but the guy sanded it down and just...
