How so ? Maybe I should get the kind you have, my Fatso doesn't get me any bonus points on height that I"m aware of..... feels cool though.

In terms of cost vs. potential increase in speed it's the lasst thing I'd add. In terms of 'cool factor' well, that's different. The thinner carbon tiller is a little (.00000001 %) better as the traveller car can run over it easier. I use an Acme Fatso tiller extension, only because I had...

I like it. I weigh 200 and live in a light-air venue. We buzz off 100 races / year-- pretty good considering our short season-- and frequently have 'drifter' conditions. I'll order one up immediately if it becomes 'legit.' Somebody mentioned a carbon (illegal?) top section. what's...

We're going to the Bahamas (Hope Town) over spring break and I could use a Laser fix. anyone know if boats are available down there ? Any local racing I can participate in ? 1sailor

Laser sailing in miami this winter sounds pretty good. Is the OCR a restricted event for olympic sailors or can idiots show up and get their asses kicked at random ? I'm not sure what the "rules" are and couldn't find anything on the website. No NOR is posted. For the record: 1- I...

My wife's VISA bill is proof that this is not true.

nobody mentioned centerboard trunk. I think that's also a common culprit, is hard to see, and would leak water into the boat even with the hull upside down

I've seen guys use large PVC tube to help make the rolling easier. Then they put the whole kit in a long sausage shaped bag. Not me, I just wad my shit up and hide it under the deck cover.... then wonder why I'm slow and my sail looks like crap...

Congrats, would you win another race if we told you that yuo were gonna get holed again ? Was it worth it ? Sorry couldn't be there for it, I'm sure Steve will help with the repair. Torresson marine in muskegon 231 755 8596 or better yet, get Curt Miller to help out, he's the master ...

Hi guys, I am a very avevrage club level racer and I'll be in the Ft Myers / Naples area for Spring Break 1st week of April. Where is the nearest Laser fleet ? I have seen the "Naples Community Sailing Center" and they have Lasers but not avail. for rent. I'd love to get in a...

75 knots, interstate I-96 going to put the boat in storage....

just started looking at the classifieds... not enough data from a single glance and the deal is coming to fruition quickly so i was hoping the local "market expert" would chime in .... the boat is reportedly pristine w. all the pro kit and spare -- faired-- foils. thoughts?

I have a guy maybe purchasing my MC Scow, and he has an '01 Laser to trade toward my MC which works well. What is the market value of a white '01 boat which has: trailer dolly 2 spare top sections practice sail race sail 2- new sails still in the bag w/o numbers full top and bottom...

Hello, I will be visiting family in Naples / Bonita area over the Christmas Holiday. I live in Michigan and we're still sailing 'till the lake freezes (thats when the iceboats come out) but would be more than ready for warm sailing by then when I'm in town. Any regattas I can hit ...

In W. Michigan we sail with drysuits on until the lake freezes. Then we sail iceboats ! Good point you made re: sailing alone, don't do that... I definetly adopt a more conservative 'sailing style' when sailing in cold water, because tipping over in 40degree water sucks !

OK, I got all the numbers off of my 1992 Laser hull... but the numbers were never put on the sail. How do I turn all those letters and numbers off the transom into a sail # ??

yes, I can look at other boats over at the YC but it seemed silly that the photo on the box depicted a sailor not using the product that is contained IN the box....

Went to install the new kit. Admittedly, I am stupid in general but jeez, no instructions whatsoever? And no pictures either. Oh yeah, there's the picture on the outside of the box but in that picture, the guy sailing DOESN"T EVEN HAVE THE UPGRADED STUFF !! Anyone else notice this ??
