I am fortunate to live on a small lake. The wind is generally light but strong enough to make potting around on my laser fun. The wind comes up quickly and dies just as fast. I realized that I would sail a lot more if it didn't take so long to rig the sail. I have an older hull, but upgraded...
That's the same boat. The same picture and drawing are in Tillman's book. The forward by Kirby is really interesting historically. Another tidbit...the color of the first boat came to be called "awful orange" after many years of oxidation.
Bruce Kirby, the designer gives an interesting history of the development of the laser in his forward to Dick Tillman's book, "The Complete Book of Laser Sailing". The first boat was not numbered and was later called hull number "0". It was owned by Kirby until he donated it to The Mystic...
I just bought bare hull #PSL 16342 0674. Can anyone tell me what year it was built, where, and any other interesting info I should know about her? I'm a newbie and would appreciate it. Thanks.
