I have PSA gelcoat at the C-vane Sailing warehouse in Houston TX. How much do you need? Please use the telephone number listed at the ridiculously dated and in desperate need of an upgrade website, C-vane.com. At least the number there is correct .....

Hekaleka has it close to correct. Bare hulls with everything in the tow craft and bailers OPEN. Tow line around forward end of hiking strap, than through the bow eye to the towing vessel. In the absence of wind driven chop and boat wakes, it's easy to tow at speeds in the mid-teens...

Laser Sailors - I just posted to Twitter @CvaneSailing (and contacted most of my active dealer network in NA) that I have coached two sailors this past week who each bought Laser lower mast sections from dealers in CA and TX and in less than seven knots of breeze saw major permanent bends...

Hey Oztayls - Welcome aboard the C-vane Sailing Team! Happy that you brought up the issue. It is clear that your wire bracket is not spaced or aligned properly. First ensure that the wire is aligned vertically at the gap, then measure the gap itself, which should be 2.36mm (or about the...

Fellow grinders - If you are in need of a Laser/Radial hull/dolly/spars/cover charter for the upcoming GCCs in Ft Myers FL, I can have one available Friday through Sunday. Solid equipment; recently third Laser at MWE Open 2008. All 2008 GCC info at http://www.goesc.org/. Sail fast...

Master’s Midweek Madness Regatta – 12/13 February 2008 US Sailing Center – Martin County, FL Forty-two Laser Masters descended upon the US Sailing Center in Jensen Beach, FL. Fresh after a full lay-day of recovery from the Florida Masters Championship regatta, the Indian River greeted the...

Thanks for all of the interest in the C-vane Wind Indicator! Indeed, this year’s launch of the C-vane has been successful enough that we are back in production (and making subtle improvements). One of the main themes of this message string, FRICTION, was also discussed in Laser Forum thread...

Thanks for all of the interest in the C-vane Wind Indicator! Indeed, this year’s launch of the C-vane has been successful enough that we are back in production (and making subtle improvements). Allow me to address this particular string’s critical points, or at least the two essential...

Laser and Radial sailors - As it stands now, I will be headed up from either Clearwater (after CLW Champs 9/8) or from West Palm Beach, leaving 9/9 AM, to Newport for the Pre-Trials. There is a very high probability that there will be one slot available for hull/spars/blades/sail/etc on the...

Absolutley. A Website has been launched with multiple sailing event/titles. The DVD of the Austin Masters & Orange Bowl Youth URL is: http://www.sailingvideo.com/sailing-video-7.html Cheers, - Ryan Eric Minth

Laserheads - One of the PROs from last year's NAs forwarded a DVD that included footage from 2002 Master's NAs (about 25 minutes worth by my watch). It was a great overview of Austin, TX (not just the host YC) and Laser sailing as a whole, more than a racing recap of who beat who and how...

[email protected] - James Appel has recently improved the scheduling functionality of our website, http://www.laser.org. Please visit and you will find: 1. Links embedded with each regatta scheduled on the Major Regatta Grid (to either info or results where appropriate). 2. A new D-GP...

I was repairing a delaminating area in my 2 year old Queensport hiking pants this morning, basically reattaching the neoprene patch on the inside of the pants (that provides extra padding to the thigh) to the sewn, battened area ... ... WITH LOCTITE'S QUICKTITE Super Glue Gel! I am amazed...

Ah, the benefits of membership question .... For $35 USD you personally get a subcription to the new and improved "The Laser Sailor", the ILCA Handbook/Rules, get to sail a "Laser" at Laser events, and a membership card. Because members have consistantly joined the Class, we get a great...

Buffalo CC, on the other hand, was relative cake to attend for all ILCA-NA members ..... and an open event as well (to those under 185 I suppose). So no excuses on the most recent Rad Worlds!

Yeah, this year will be a schlep to be sure.

Are you kidding? Every boat goes through a rigorous measurement process. Once fully rigged (sometimes with battens removed), it is to be presented to the measurement team. More than a few had to move their sail numbers a few millimeters, adjust rudder sweep, alter running rigging, etc...

Yes. Both. - Ryan

Subscribers - I recently wrote a message to the D-Secs, ExCom, and other key contributors to the Class asking if they knew of Class members in possission of an 'official' ILCA measurement template. If you have one, or know of someone that does, please send a note to James Appel...

Two things as a follow up: 1. If it is unbearable, of course, I go to a dry-suit. 2. Interesting that this thread began with the "UK development" comment. When I had the "water heater top" on at Worlds, Steve Cockerill from RoosterSailing went nuts over it. He indicated that he would...
