    Smaller arm Harken swivel mainsheet cleat

    Never done that on the 144 or 205 base, it may work, but with upside down you may be accused of being a catamaran sailor with all their main cleating in the pull-down fashion to uncleat, so it seems that folks can get used to that action.

    Sunfish with blue hull

    hmm... I think the styro blocks in the area between the mast and cockpit at each of the center help support the hull and deck from flexing in that area.

    El Cheapo Tiller Fix ($15)

    Yep, tiller just needs to be straight and then pinned, or not, per the class rules. The Traveller block will not cross as easily as you'd like with the hard edges of the square tubing when the traveler is at its tight as possible setting for best closshauled performance.

    Where to find Laser 2 bailer replacement?

    I'm pretty sure the Super Shute 90 is no longer in production. Maybe the IYE Manufacturer that still might be producing Super Shute 60 would share the 90 info for someone to make parts?

    Vang Tang Replacement

    Our business has been selling the Laser/ILCA since the second year of production...and we've seen it all. The original vang tang on the mast had the 3/16" hole for attachment. Now with the new vang arrangement all boats have a 1/4" hole in the vang tang. Just drill it out on the old mast...
