To all that have helped me throughout the past year with the answers to my many question, assistance on sailing questions and for being there and so friendly .... Thanks. Due to an increasingly bad back problem, I've had to stop Laser Sailing. I'll try to have a go at bigger boats, but the...

I'd be really interested in the replies to this one, as I've considered using some from of gunnel hanging system, but I'm a bit concerned about the hull comming away from the deck. At present I'm using bunks and need to get the alignment perfect to avoid stress on the hull. Maybe slinging is...

Hi All, Don't know if you remember that I was 'doing up' a 1986 Laser that I got for Can$ 1100? Well, it is ready to sail apart from one detail ..... I need a native name to christen it with . Any ideas? It has to relate to the wind, water, waves, etc. I'll be putting a dot art mural on the...

Ich Auch ... just to keep in with the conversation

Simply elbow grease, a product called 'Vertglas' and patience .. thanks for the compliment ... CU on the bay?

It's not that your 'kiwis' are any better than our LIONS .... you just play a different game (yep, I'm more rugby oriented than soccer, being ex forces) In the end it makes for a great game ... whomever wins

Thanks, this helps a lot ..... I'm also an oldie at 47 and I think it is a shame that the colour has been lost from the sport ..... maybe this is why it is not on TV .... bring back the colour is what I say

Hi All, Does anyone know if there is a reasonably good Laser chandler on Guernsey, Channel Islands?

Take it to the garage that you would normally have a vehicle safety check done ....... they will be able to give the trailer a once over and give you a safety certificate ....... this removes any doubts that the registration types might have regarding build quality. Good luck!

I've attached a couple of photos of the renovation so far .... a before and after of the hull ...... next I'm working on the deck after finishing a few minor repairs

"nowce" is "knowledge" or "know how"

The cleaning is turning into a little repairing too....off to the UK next week, so I doubt that I'll be on the water till after that. keep you posted ..... I'm sure that you all want to know how many time I had to right myself !!!

As a new user, I second that

Pascale, I'm in the process of giving my Canadian made Laser a real good going over and my deck is a definate dirty grey. That is after cleaing it just short of it's life. I'm seriously considering painting it to give it a clean look. Mine is an 87

Hi Everyone I've recently bought an 87 Laser with a Blue/white and Purple sail made by Fogh. Personally, I doubt that it is a real McCoy Laser legal sail, but is there any way that I can replace it with a legal sail of the same colour? Do I have to resort to a Colourful white!!
