    multi-boat trailers

    Trailex Sure do wish I could say that I had the problem of too many boats! :) I just picked-up a used Trailex (single) recently...I love it! If the quality on their multiple boat trailers matches that of the singles...I'd reccommend them in a heartbeat. They're super light, they tow...

    Upgrades?

    Sounds about right....Lasers were sailed for how many years with out them, so I guess I can live that way for a while too. I do like the idea of just replacing them with a few inexpensive blocks...Crawl before you walk! Hey Kristian, One of these days, you'll absolutely be seeing me...

    Upgrades?

    Ok, so I've bought a Laser and it doesn't have the upgrades for either the vang or the outhaul. How big of a deal is this really? (it's currently set up with thimbles) I'm not planning on racing right away...I'd like to spend some time just dorking around on it, checking things out & getting...

    Where to buy used Laser?

    I'm good to go....picked up my new (used) Laser yesterday afternoon! It's in really good condition; there's a few things I would have to do to make it race ready I suppose, but I'm not in a hurry for that. Right now, I just want to learn it & have some fun. Thanks for all the geat tips...

    Where to buy used Laser?

    I've got a line on one I'm going to take a look at tomorrow...It's got everything I'm looking for, but the price is just a hair higher than I wanted, but it may be worth it. We shall see... Thanks for all the great advice everyone! Mick

    Where to buy used Laser?

    Wish I could afford new...but I can't. I actually just called Hedlund yesterday looking for used Lasers & they told me about those boats. I've had a couple of positive leads over the past few days...time will tell if something pans out. I'll find one sooner or later...hopefully sooner; I'm...

    Laser vs. Force 5

    I think I'll know better once I go and actually take a look at the boat, but as of "right now", I'm leaning towards a Laser. Everything just points that way.... Quanity...I should be able to find one fairly easy A true one design...I really want to focus on improving my skills & I don't...

    Are there major differences between a Laser and a Force 5? Or is it just a matter of preference? Thanks, Mick

    Sunfish Lasers/Quality?

    Ok....I've read that there have been some problems with lasers that were manufactured by Sunfish. Do all Sunfish Lasers have problems or is this more of a "I had a bad Ford once, so all Fords are bad!" kind of thing? I'm asking because I recently came across a '93; it was donated to an...

    Hull Question..

    In classified ads...why is it that everyone is determined to convince you that their hull is dry? I'm not a goof, I understand why this information is important, but it makes me curious if leaky hulls are a way of life with Lasers... Is it a flaw in the construction or just due to the...
