What about free shipping to canada?

thanks for the info on these sails

no I mean i-sails. www.i-sails.com they are in Park City, UT.

Has anyone used these sails.If so what do you think of them?

The reason that I joined Bellwood and not Guelph Lake is that I sail J35's on Tuesday.Bellwood races Wednesdays and Sundays.I will try and come on the 1st it would be fun to sail against other Lasers for a change.

I am located in Cambridge .I sail out of Bellwood Lake in Fergus.There are 4 Lasers at the club,but mine is the only one that sees the water.It would be great to see more come out and join the club. www.blsc.on.ca

If it doesn't have a logo, it may not be class legal.Check first to see if it is.I don't think you really don't need one.

When setting up on shore the sail fully rigged I put a knot at 90 degrees and don't take it out.

Teep the line config. from sailingtoronto.com will make it easier to pull the outhaul in.I use that system and I have 24' of line.You need to up grade the cleats to aluminium to stop the slipping.Sails do not have to be expensive a good used set at $200 and up can be found or click on Sail with...

46' is standard for the Laser.If you go to www.apsltd.com/Tree/d90000/e87620.asp it gives the list of lines and the length that you need.

In Ontario it says that you need a paddle,but in the information booklet it states that in small sailboats your rudder can be classified as your paddle.You can use the rudder in a sculling motion to get you ashore.You do requirer a waterproof flashlight.

You most likely bought a Laser 2

Thanks Annie.I re-did all of the hardware with 4200 before I started this year everything else is tight and OK. Paul

Thanks Al and Tim. The boat is a '77.I live in one of those places with winter.So far that is the only place that I have found, but the season has just began. Paul

:confused: My cunningham cleat has pulled out of the deck.The wood around it is pretty soft.Would it be best to put a other piece of wood underneath it and through bolt it or is there a better way. I am still using the original line set up.I do have access through inspection portsto do this.
