speaking of west coast, last weekend we went to the george for the pcc masters and i had an unfortunate first day the day before the regatta. i turned down wind in 20+ and the boat deathrolled on me and when the boom hit the water it snapped my boom off at the vang strap.....oops......have to...

i see, said the blind man to the fish.........so do all the lasers race in one big group? no seperate start for the radials? that would be cool.is it scored according to what rig you are sailing? or is it just a big free for all?:confused:

so will the rig switching rule be in effect this weekend at the pcc,s at the george? i didn't see anything about it in the nor when i sent my money in, i was planing on trying my new radial set-up because i've heard it blows like crazy on the columbia river.

what is this " rig swiching rule" i keep hearing about? can you sail radial one day and full rig the next and still be scored in a regatta? can you switch in the middle of a day of racing or only at the start? i haven,t seen this done at any of the regattas i've been at.

hey nickjb, congrats on the new boat and welcome, i use a similar trailer and it works o.k, but for that price you can get a new kittyhawk and they do work better for the laser, another option is to find a used small trailer for 200-250 that would work, check out harbor freight in renton, they...

hi dutchlaser, i have had one for 4 months now and i like it, it's kind of bulky to wear as a everyday watch( too thick) but works very well. watch out for the screws that hold the band on, mine came loose and fell off the first time i used it, but west marine replaced the whole watch with no...

i had the same problem, you can't buy a sticker and it's copywrited, i finally just made one from all the left over pieces from the red sail numbers i put on the sail, from a distance you can't tell the difference.:cool:

hey lu.....my boat is a 78 hull in great shape and it does the same thing, it hisses air after a sail, but i pull the plug when it's stored on the trailer. i checked and mine dosn't have the breather hole in the cockpit. would it be a good idea to drill a small hole in that location? i would...

i belive you can use denautered alcohol, it should take the silicon off the glass without harming it, it should also work on the rubber and the plastic, but i would test a small area somewhere you can't see it to make sure there is no strange reaction. don,t use laquer thinner, mineral spirits...

i live in seattle too and i know of a used boat for a reasonable price, drop me a line at [email protected] and i'll give you some info, the boat is in tacoma.......terry

yes it was royal vancouver yacht club in vancouver. what a nice club, great event, very nice people and a excellent place for a regatta. we had a great time, 40 lasers, 25 radials, 10 bytes, many optis and 5-8 420s. 1st day wind about 5-7 4 races, 2nd day 4-8 wind 4 races and last day 6-12 wind...

larsencanvas and i are headed up to vancouver canada to the royal canadian yacht club to sail in a three day regatta, anybody else from the forum heading up? should be a great event, they are expecting 70 lasers plus other centerboard classes.

5 coats of paint is probably a bit of over kill but as long as you sand between coats and spray light coats each time the overall weight gain for a laser is less than a pound. as a painter i wouldn't choose to use automotive products, i would go with marine coatings, but auto products offer a...

do you have the plastic cleat? they tend to wear out on the edges, change over to a new metal one and it should hold the line. i had the same problem and switched over to a metal one and it holds o.k now.....terry

??????...........whats up skipper j ? your last post was so positive, seemed like you are making good process down under. i always enjoy your posts, makes me feel not so alone in my suckyness.........terry

what is the difference between the standard mast and the radial mast? can you make a radial mast out of a standard mast? i have an extra standard mast and am thinking of moving down to a radial sail because of my weight. on very windy days i'm way too light to be able to handle the big rig.i'm...

you should always use a primer for things that are in water all the time, finish paints don,t have the sealing and bonding agents that primers have. marine grade paints should be used for the finish coats and proper dry and cure times need to be followed.read the cans for specific details for...
