    Bought a Laser Bahia!

    Hi Ian, We have had a Bahia since July 4th and it is a total blast. In gentle condidtion (less than 15 Knots and steady) it is an excellent daysailer and family funboat. My 2 year old granddaughter has been on it together with 4 adults. Also, up to 15 knots it is great for single handed (but...

    Bought a Laser Bahia!

    Ahhhhhhhrgh!!!!!:confused::( I have spent the better part of 2 hours writing a long and detailed description of my test sail of the Laser Bahia. For just a moment, I skied off piste when asked to find a hotel . . . . blah blah blah. Bugger! The whole report has vanished - and I was nearly back...

    Bought a Laser Bahia!

    Bad luck with the vang fitting - I hope you get the part soon. Is there a lesson for the rest of us here? Let us know how that goes. Here is today's forecast. The sea is only 8 Deg C so wet suits are the order of the day, and I hope I get to test sail the Bahia this afternoon. Temperature...

    Bought a Laser Bahia!

With sea temp a mere 8 degrees (C of course) is will be a full wet suit job I fancy! (And it will be...

    Bought a Laser Bahia!

    Almost forgot, does anybody have experience with the Bahia "box"? It seems like it will be useful in day sailer mode for picnic stuff, cooler etc. But can the boat still be worked in a blow? Also, does the box stay with the boat in a capsize? (Not that I ever would of course) :D:D:D

    Bought a Laser Bahia!

    Thank you for your honesty - any owners out there who want to defend? Is WPB perhaps too harsh? Door is closing but not yet closed. Yes I want a daysailer, but if it is boring it will never get used so that would be a big mistake. I love lee rail under and me hanging out :)), and a favourite...

    Bought a Laser Bahia!

    Hmmm - I doubt I would go without a wetsuit in to 16C water:eek:,so perhaps we should be kind and not blame his reluctance on sloth. But of course we still would like to have that sailing report! Last Fall, you mentioned that you were about to go in to a club event, and also that the "guys...

    Bought a Laser Bahia!

    Hi Merrily, Im a newbie to the forum and since my wife looked quite askance at the idea of a tandem (just kidding), I thought it might be about time to get back in to sailing. As a kid I learned to sail in a leaky aluminium canoe with a home-made outrigger and a sail made from a bedsheet...
