Does anyone listen to music while sailing? Sometimes when I take my laser for a cruise on a lighter day, I think it might be nice to have some music with me. Does anyone have a good idea for music? Waterproof Bluetooth speaker zip tied to the mast, and put my phone in a dry bag? That's the best...
try letting off the out haul more, especially reaching/downwind.
Other than that, in light wind, you need a very good reason to move the tiller. Keep the boat stable, raise the center board a bit(?) and in really light stuff heel the boat a bit to leeward so gravity can shape the sail when the...
I did this modification to my old holt vang. (I stole these pics from another thread but it's essentially the same thing).
It works surprisingly well, has the same purchase as the new XD kits, and costs less than $50 with the lines. Since your boat doesn't have the new deck blocks, you can use...
Hey, if you do end up buying one, pick up an extra sail or two, then message me. I'll buy it for $80
Some of these look decent, but the way he worded it makes him sound off putting. Definitely worth a look. You could probably piece together a pretty nice boat, but FYI, I got a boat last month...
I don't see a link, but I bought my boat on Craigslist. It can be a great way to get a boat. Just check the usual wear spots (daggerboard trunk, mast step) and press on the deck and hull all around for soft spots. Make sure the daggerboard and rudder are in good shape, as they are prohibitively...
I think I'm just going to buy a standard mast and find a used or practice sail. Maybe even one of the "power head" sails. The boat is just for dinking around in the river and scaring my young family members with. I used to race a decade+ ago, but have no real interest in attempting to pick...
Yep, looks like that.
Anywhere I can find that only part? Or a way to ghetto rig it? I have a standard sail too...but I like the colors of the vintage kit...
I have an old laser sail from a craigslist find. its in very good shape, as it has been in a bag inside an AC garage since the 90's.
what is confusing to me is that at the top of the mast pocket, it is open. sewn into a loop onto the very top of the head is a 7-8 inch long piece of webbing and...
