    I have a very small piece chipped off my daggerboard can I super glue it? It is the tip and just about the size of a finger nail. I know that sounds goofy but just going through a glass and west repair seems too time consuming for such a little thing

    1977 Laser

    Depends on a lot of other stuff. What type of set up is it pro rigged, how many sails, have you poured water in the mast step to see if it's leaking? If it is a boat in good shape I would say somewhere around 1,200.00. If you want something for less and don't need the trailer maybe they will...

    How do I go about buying a laser?

    You should try to purchase the boat now or in the next few months because you will get a better deal (people would rather sell than store). In the spring prices go up some (people would rather sail than sell). Think about it!

    Class Politics Take a New Person Sailing Week

    I was just trying to figure out why your friends don't consider it a sport. You have all the valid arguments, maybe they figure since everytime you go out you don't have people cheering you on.

    Class Politics Take a New Person Sailing Week

    Must not have been very fine wine if the security guy thought it would start a fire,ohhhh but wait maybe it was so good that he thought it was bad because it wasn't his brand Boones Farm. Since VT is so close to Canada maybe better yet it was a fabulooso French wine. And I guess you didn't...

    I am going to lean on gouvernail to send me a fine bottle of wine and maybe some great VT cheese since I am in a dry county then I will take a friend sailing!

    Wood vs. Fiberglass

    I would say if you could find one with no repair would be good but only if you pour water in the step to see if it leaks or not. That being said it depends on the repair. If an entire kit was used than I would stay away from if you want to race seriously. If an inspection port is there (by...

    sastanley is right about the price of the repair kit 300.00 plus you may be able to find another hull on this site cheap so I'd check that out.

    Media Pictures of your boat

    If the plug is in tight and the fitting looks good I would still tend to think it was the step also it's possiable that some water splashed in from the new inspection port. A small bead of silicone around the outside of the port and some 5200 in any gaps around the inside of the port should...

    Media Pictures of your boat

    The first thing I would do is to put a flashlight or light in the boat and then pour water into the mast step to see where it is leaking. Looks like it may still be leaking at the bottom, you may just need acouple of more strips of glass at either side of the base. How much water did you drain...

    Media  Pictures of your boat

    how about people post pictures of your boats, inside outside, repair before after, year, etc.. I know there is a video section for pics but it is very helpful to see before and after pictures of repairs. If the repair looks good we then would know who to ask for advice. I'll post mine if you...

    stepmast/ispection port

    Thanks Peter I am going to try to look through the drain plug before cutting another port. I might try to attach my camera to something and put it on auto timer and see what I can see.

    stepmast/ispection port

    49208 I know how many cubes are supposed to be there now but I was just wondering if in the older boats ie 76 if there were fewer or the same as now.

    Mast Step leak

    You should read the stepmast /inspection port thread. If the tube is clean inside you may be able to see where it is leaking without an inspection port. You can also measure the inside of the tube which should be about 14 inches if more than the bottom of the tube should be checked as best you...
