    Ink Sail numbers, Removal advice requested

    Thanks for the tips. I'm ordering some adhesive sailcloth to cover the wrong numbers. Turns out I only need to change the 3rd and 4th number, so I'll cover them and put my numbers on top of those two. I'll order two pair of numbers to match my old ones. Might look a bit odd with the...

    Ink Sail numbers, Removal advice requested

    I just got a lightly used white race sail that has 5 digit numbers inked into both sides of the sail with a black magic marker or something similar. Since they are not my numbers, I need to remove or cover and replace at least the last three numbers, first two are same as mine. Without doing...

    Kitty Hawk trailer with Sunfish converstion

    I have a Laser with a Kitty Hawk trailer, and just got a Sunfish conversion from John at Kitty Hawk. It allows me to carry either the Laser or Sunfish with just a few minutes conversion time. The bow support for either boat threads in quickly, and two bolts hold the rear support hoops in place...

    Kitty Hawk trailer dealers in NY ???

    I spoke with John at Kitty Hawk last week. He told me the Sunfish adapter was in the works and would be available before my next sailing season. Based on this statement, I will be keeping my Laser model Kitty Hawk to haul either of my boats. I really don't want a heavier trailer, I can...

    North vs Hyde Sails & Practice sails

    Thanks for the info. I suspected that is the situation, but wanted to know for sure. Does using any non class sail or equipment mean the boat would be disqualified for using the Portsmouth Laser rating, if protested? That Quantum sail on the Laser hull sure was nice looking, I didn't get to...

    North vs Hyde Sails & Practice sails

    If you are sailing a Laser in a mixed boat, Portsmouth handicapped fleet, does a nonclass Laser sail present any question using the official Laser Portsmouth number? I saw a Laser using a nice looking sail built by Quantum, at a light air venue. I would consider sail like that, for racing...

    Kitty Hawk trailer dealers in NY ???

    I have a very nice Kitty Hawk stainless Laser trailer that I am considering selling. I have both a Sunfish & Laser, and am considering switching to a Right On trailer to be able to haul either boat, although I wish they had an aluminum or at least a galvanized model. I am in PA, and can send...

    Sunfish on a Kitty Hawk Laser trailer?

    I am looking for something better than my own design. Before the Laser I had a Laser 2 on a Kitty Hawk trailer. The Laser and Laser 2 are wider than the Sunfish, so the hull supports are at the wrong place. With my Laser 2 trailer, I hung seat belt webbing between the rear supports, but the...

    Sunfish on a Kitty Hawk Laser trailer?

    No, that's a Trailex trailer. The Kitty Hawk is similar, this pic is from their website: http://www.kittyhawktrailers.com/gallery.html

    Sunfish on a Kitty Hawk Laser trailer?

    I have a Laser on a Kitty Hawk trailer. I would like to be able to also haul my Sunfish with the Kitty Hawk, without losing the ability to haul the Laser at other times. Anyone had any success or ideas to do this?

    Luff length for laser 2 main?

    Does anyone know the luff length for a Laser 2 main? I have a set of Laser 2 sails for sale, and a potential buyer is asking, I can't find that specification for him, and the sail is not handy to measure. Thanks Ed

    Regatta Participation

    I am sure everyone has personal reasons, for me a factor was that both mid winters this year were pretty far north, considering possible early to mid March temperatures, while it could be nice and balmy, it might not too. I've already "enjoyed" a 40 degree mid winter's further south in...

    Harbor Freight boat trailer?

    I have used this trailer for a variety of things, including hauling my Sunfish, since I sold my boat trailer with a boat earlier this year. The shortcomings are a very low tongue weight, and significant rear overhang. I mounted Thule "artificial rain gutters" onto the trailer bed, as far back...
