Hello all, I'm adding spar tubes to my trailer system. I'd like to put a full rig in each tube with enough room so I'm not cramming them in. I'm going between a 6" and an 8" diameter. What has been working well on other rigs?
Help!! I've been an avid laser sailor for about 5 or 6 years now. Never a top level guy, but definately a weekend warrior. However, a few weeks ago in my frostbite sailing I had a awful crash and burn. To the point where I couldnt get the boat righted and had to be towed home. Since then, Im...
sailing is a disease to which there was no cure. I was awoken from sleep the other night by sounds of ratchet blocks clicking and sails luffing on the beach. I awoke and there were no boats around. Fell asleep and awoken by the same thing. It had been 3 weeks since I'd been laser sailing...
Rain... not a big deal. It's a boat.... its designed to get wet :D.
However, how big is your bed? I have a full sized pickup wiht a 6 1/2 ft bed. I transproted my first laser from RI to MA with the transom up against the back of the cab, tailgate down, and lots of tiedowns. Even so, the bow...

I'm a very enthusiastic laser sailor who has tried both. North or Hyde... neither one has made me spring to the front of the pack. Unless you're a very top tier laser...
I used it extensively on both my boats. I bought it as soon as it was released, as I like new shiney things. On my raceboat I went back to the velcro clew strap about 2 yrs ago. I wont go back. I still have the sleeve on my guest boat, but it's coming off soon.
Reason I switched back: the...
I doubt half a mm will make much difference. I have a 6mm Maffioli for regular breeze and a 8mm Bzzz for big breeze. I think i've used the Bzzz once or twice. 6mm has been fine for me in almost all conditions... especially if you wear gloves.
Do you know Ed Adams? What he's done? How hard he is to catch and how GOOD of a laser sailor he is? Google Ed Adams sailing. I suggest you talk about him with a little more respect.
Hello all,
I'm upgrading my spar transport system on my trailer from lashing it down to PVC storage tubes.
So the question.... will a 4" tube hold all 3 spars? Or do I need 6"?
Also, any sort of suggestions on creative mounting will be greatly appriciated.
thanks!!!
my personal thoughts are more people on the water the better. I have two sets of blades; one for race and one for play. If I had to buy a new set of play blades I'd be hard pressed not to get Intensity blades.
There's something to be said for a fleet where you get 30+ boats on the water all...
redoing the entire gelcoat is fine... if you don't have a job. Have plenty of money. And have a unhealthy attraction to wet sanding an fairing the hull again. What I do on my 2001 with the dark gray hull strip is mix in black gelcoat. REMEMBER gelcoat tends to lighten as it dries. Always mix...
