Hey again everyone,
So I finally took some photos of my mast, annotated them and enumerated my six questions.
There are three photos with two questions per photo. If for any reason you can't see or get to the photos, but you think you might be able to help, PM me and I'll send to you outside...
LaLi, Yes. The main and jib halyards are both inside the mast. The joint will not exit at the top either.
Today I tried to get the job halyard to move past the 4 foot blockage when the mast was up, down, and flipped on both sides when the mast was horizontal. Something inside is stopping the...
Still amidst the restoration project...
While looking over the mast, it looks like I'm missing the mainsail halyard cleat.
In this pic from CautionWater, it's the chrome cleat that's missing. I do have the black part with the saw tooth pattern, and I see the two holes from apparently where the...
Greetings, two days ago I ordered a dry suit for Laser sailing.
I now have a question about footwear. I'm new to this, so please bear with me!
I need to know what size hiking/trapeze boot to get.
How many layers are there between my foot and the water?
Based on what I can tell:
1. My...
Thanks Genoni. I bought an entry level dry suit yesterday from one of your neighbors in the UK. It's supposed to arrive on Thursday (2/16). I'm also going to follow LaLi's advice and hit the APS shop which lucky for me is about a 30 minute drive from my home to pick up some boots. I'll then...
Thanks geoffbp58. I'll check it out. Back in the 80s folks used to call dry suits "body bags" due to failures. I'm sure this is a dumb question but safe to assume technology has advanced to the place where dry suits are considered "safe and effective?"
I'm eager to get out on the Chesapeake ASAP (probably April, water temp expected to be high 40s-low 50s)
I need to get a wetsuit, but I see all kinds of styles available for other sports. Is there anything to prefer or avoid? Is there a difference between a kite boarding suit and wetsuit for...
On the rudder there are two down facing "pins" that fit or seat in what I'm calling holders attached to the stern. I believe you're correct that gudgeon is the correct term. Mine are black.
I think my boat is a late 70's model. This appears to be stamped on the back of the boat: ZFS 02469M8 IJ...
I was fortunate to pick up a remarkably well preserved L2. I'd like to paint the bottom, not because it's chewed up, but because I'd like it to better match the top. Planning to use Rustoleum Marine Finish - Oyster White.
Question: Is it safe to unscrew and remove the black rudder holders, or...
Hey everyone. I just bought a Laser 2 on a kitty hawk trailer/dolly and I have three questions.
1.) Is there a reasonable and secure alternative to the clevis pins with the little circle wires at so many of the rigging connection points? They seem to really slow me down when rigging, and I...
