I'm 5'9 with a 30-32 inch waist, I just ordered a Medium off the Internet, does this seem right? I got the SEA 3/4ers

Lasers were never actually the plan, me and Jeff have actually just purchased a 29er.

Hey, you're Jeff's friend. I realize I don't have that much experience going to big regattas, however this year I know 4 people who are buying Bytes, however in the previous years all of my friends have been purchasing lasers. This is what I am basing it off of, however I wanted to make sure...

I have a confession to make... I actually race 29ers, not lasers, I just find some good info here :)

Dying Out? Bytes are getting more popular up here than before.

I also seem to get these bruises on laser 2s, however I am skipper. It must just be a really rough boat!

Am I the only person who gets very tense at starts? There are so many boats and you must be very alert not to hit them. I get really shaky and am very scared. How do I overcome this?

Hi, I'm 14 and I've recently finished the "Learn to Sail" program at my yacht club after 5 years of taking the program. I'm in the process of getting my own Laser Radial for next year and I'm going to join the RNSYS race team (Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron). I'm a bit out of shape...well, I...

I've bent a laser II mast so that the top was purpendicular to the bottom.

Nice pics, I've sailed in those conditions except in Laser IIs, so it was a bit easier with my weight, and it was great.

How much does a new Laser Pro Radial cost? I'm wondering because after looking at all the 2002 models in the 4000 range, aswell as me having to buy upgrades and ship it, it would cost around $5000. Would it be worth it to buy a new Laser Radial Pro model with all upgrades and shiz straight from...

Also, there seems to be a cleat that attatches to the deck of the laser which the outhaul and cunningham run through...Is that included in the upgrade package with the outhaul and cunningham or do you have to buy it seperatley?

How much do Outhaul, Cunningham and Boomvang upgrades cost?

There is NO 4.7 rigs where I live, I would either get a Radial or Byte, and I think Radial is the much better option now.

Ah yes, I thought it might help if you guys know that I know how to sail, I am in Silver if that means anything to anyone, (don't know if you use the same rankings in the USA as Canada) and have been sailing most of the summer for the past 6 years.
