Before the next sailing season I'd like to buy a newer, lighter hull. I have a pre/72 with too many years of water inside, even w/drying attempts, the boat is easily 150+ lbs. I also want the back cuddy. Has there been a significant hull redesign, interior or exterior and if so what year...
I'm fairly new to laser sailing, came from sunfishes.
When I'm sailing at a run, with the sail out quite a bit, and I jibe, often the main sheet will get caught on the stern corner as it makes it's way over to the other side. Most of the time I don't know it until I realize I can't sheet out...
I'm looking for a race starter device which will count down and sound a horn, a all in one device. I've googled the heck out of it and find nothing. Surely it's out there and if not someone should build one. Ideally you could program a x minute warning, maybe a couple and then the start...
Bought a 1993 laser yesterday, it's in great shape but I'm having rigging issues. I don't believe the fellow I bought the laser from was a laser sailor. I think he bought it for his kids and they did not sail much.
The sail refuses to go the last 6", simply WILL NOT GO. Physically too...
I'm buying a used laser this week, it's in great shape. In my shopping I noticed quite a few boats w/damage to the deck/mast step area. The boat I'm buying does not have this problem. I'm guessing this is a vulnerable area as the damage seems more common than not. I enjoy bigger winds and...
I'm interested in the fitting that attaches to the tiller and allows a hiking extension to pivot in all directions. Anyone have a resource?
Thank you

I have a pre/72 that came w/a very short tiller, not even half-way to the cockpit. So before I fashion a new one, I thought I'd solicit opinions on the ideal length. I was thinking at least to the cockpit so I could throw a leg over it if I wanted to. I was also thinking about adding a hiking...
A couple questions regarding leaks
1) I have a pre/72 sunfish which I sailed for the first time yesterday. After sailing I had the boat out of the water up on an inclined boat launch. I noticed a steady drip coming from the bottom screw that holds the rudder mount. I'm assuming if water is...
I was given a pre 72 sunfish hull from a friend. The last item I need for a complete boat is the sail. I'm finding this purchase difficult as the prices of a new sail vary widely. (have also been looking in the used market). I've heard many explanations from avid sailors regarding the price...
