So I just spent all spring fixing up a '76 that I bought cheap last fall. I did some minor scratch repair and painted the boat. Finally I got to go sailing for the first time this spring. I was out for a couple of hours, pretty light conditions, absolutely no waves or excitement of any kind...

I just painted my hull with Perfection, I got 3+ coats out of one quart. A little does go a long way.

I wouldn't worry about it, I left mine in the water for about 6 weeks last fall because i had no trailer and no where to put it. It was fine except for a little water in it and some slime. This was in cool water, probably 60-65 degrees max.

I just repaired and painted a '76 that I bought this fall, and never having my own Laser before I got all the information I needed off this site. Do some searching, there is tons of info about this subject here. I had lots of scratches to fill and glass work to smooth out, so I sanded from 80...

Hi! I'm a new Laser owner, and obviously new to the forum as well... I have a question, I just bought a '76 Laser that is in pretty good shape. I have read that the spars are supposed to fit together tightly, but mine are pretty loose. Any advice? Is this a problem that needs fixing and...

I just bought an old '76, and my mainsheet is pretty large (9mm? ish) but seems to work well, it is comfortable, doesn't twist and runs smooth...
