I just created an article on the best cold sailing weather gear for Laser sailing that I hope you'll find useful. You can see the entire article here: www.sail-small.com

I hope this has not been covered before - I searched for awhile with no results. Is there a GPS or specific gadget that can track the sailing for the day? Some sort of recorder to show where you went, how fast you went, etc? Something along the lines of a GPS recorder? I see some races post...

Okay - I got a mini Harken block to add to my vang setup for more purchased. I want to make sure my understanding of this drawing is correct. Can you please confirm the ends of these two lines tie to the bottom pin or section of the block? Thanks!!!!

I had a FANTASTIC day on the water yesterday. What a rush that thing is. This was my second time on this boat, and the first time was in 2-3mph winds so it was kind of useless. Yesterday I experienced 4-11 mph winds and it was great. I got better and beating, block to block, and watching how...

This forum has been a huge in my project to restore this 1974 Laser. I just did a "dry run" rigging in the back yard and snapped some pics. I wonder if you can tell me if I have anything wrong. I know there may be some upgrades in order, but I am more interested to make sure I am on the right...

I have a question about launching the laser at a public launch. I plan to use a fairly low use lake with about 8 launches, so I don't think there is a huge need for speed in terms of dumping the boat in the water to free up the dock for the next guy.

Hello - I am nearing the completion of the fiberglass reinforcing and fairing work on my 74' laser. I am gettign near the time to start painting and will begin with primer. I chose the Rustoleum Marine Topside paint for it's great review on iBoats. Hopefully it will work well. Anyhow, the...

I am pretty excited since I just got home with a new to me 1974 Laser. My 30 word story is I sailed a bit with my Dad on his laser when I was in high school (1983-ish) and thought it was kinda cool. 5 years after that, me and my brother took out my Dad's O'Day 14 and ripped up and down a lake in...

Hello, I'm glad I found your forum since I just purchased a Snark Sunflower 3.3 for a whopping $30. Best thing is, I was sailing it within 10 minutes of bringing it home and it sails just fine!! The only issue is that this boat has a stryofoam hull covered in ABS plastic. There are some...
