ive seen some 10 year old lasers in good racing condition freashley polished every year and well looked after and ive seen some 1 & 2 year old lasers that minght struddle in a club race it really is down to if you get a good boat from laser there a bit hit and mis and if you look after it properley i own a 97 laser and its in fair condition good club racer but i wouldnt even bother entering a national event with it as its been raced hard almoast all its life and has exxessive wear on the mast pot and dings here and there and the gell is a bit unevan but as i say works well in a club race environment so really there is no answer to your question only variables. ps dont forget to polish and wax seal you can never look after your gel too much.
its a matter of the boat staying stiff and light, if it leaks (some new boats leak!) fix it, water inside the hull is never good, with proper care you can keep it in great shape and it will be competitive for along time
