I have been taking the mast out of the boat, slide the bottom section out of the sleeve, loosely fold the sail in half at the lower end of the top section and then I neatly and loosely roll it around the mast top section. The nice thing about this is that it only takes about 2 minutes to set up...

Before you go cutting out holes in your boat find out if there is indeed foam in the boat at all. I don't think there is any foam floatation in the hull!

Both people sail fine in the cockpit. Simply do not use the mainsheet block regardless of who is actually manning the sheet. Makes for easy transferals with no entanglements and therefore pleasurable sailing. - my 2 cents

I took a picture this past wkend of my laser frame for anyone interested. I generally haul the boat during the day and tie a red flag on the end.

Trying to figure out how to attach an image, here goes....

I have an s10 small p-up to tote my boat with. I built a "dolly" by cutting a pair of 10' 2x10 stringers to match the profile of the hull. I screwed them together with 2x4 crossers, using a pair of crossers (4x4) mounted such that they slide over the wheel wells and down in front thereby...

Re: What do you think? I ,ve had a lot of fun in my sunfish and then I got a laser. There is just no comparison, the sunfish is a toy compared to the laser which does pack a lot of real thrill for such a small craft. My sunfish is for sale.

I too purchased a rooster cover from intensity. It is a heavy duty cover that is built to last. It has a shock cord built into the perimeter and a couple buckle straps to hold it while on the road. It looks like it will stand up to leaves and needles well and at only 99 bucks how can you go...

I bought one of the laser top covers recently and am very impressed. It really is well made with nice material. I recommend this product.

I've heard it works but I've also heard that its not very good for a sail - it stresses it and stretches it out of shape.

I just bought an S10 yesterday which I plan to ferry my laser around in. (I also have a sunfish) Matter of fact, I just asked for information on this subject at the laser forum on Friday night!!! Anyway, I am planning to build a frame using a pair of 10' 2x10s as stringers ,possibly cut the...

I have a plan and elevation in DWG format (autocad)

I am contemplating purchasing a small pick up truck- the chevy S10 - which at 4'7inches wide and 7'6 long(tailgate down) could, I think, be used to transport my laser to and from the lake. I am thinking of building a cradle out of lumber which might cantilever off the tailgate a foot or so. The...
