hey guyz, not posted a post lately as boat has been sailing well, until i got queried about my boat!
my laser seems to have rust spots all over the deck theyre tiny ones which seem to be within the gelcoat! it was 1 year old in january, and havent had to do any maintenance on it at all! so...
i have just brought a brand new carbon tiller and extension for £100 gbp it is the xd one tiller and with any slight pressure it hits the traveller cleat, wdoes anyone have any sugestions, it does hit when sailing, am i allowed to glue a washer or two on the top rudder pintle to raise it up a...

my dielema,
i have sanded the rudder back to the yellow stuff (think its epoxy?)
and am about to respray, can i just spray gloss on via a spray can or will the rust spots re appear?

:confused: I have a centerboard that has been sanded down hugely by who i brought the boat off, so when sailing i rattles like hell! i've tried another board and it is brilliant comapred to my main board. i am goin to refurbish my mainboard so i need to remove the centerboard stopper. (any...
Hi i recently heard that sailing a laser down wind you need the outhaul fully on tight to increase sail area? is this right as i have always let the clew slack to give the sail more baggyness? if so that would make the laser classic pull everthing on tight and leave it better at sailing downwind...
Dear all i have just purchased a harken clew sleve, and when trying it on a broken top mast section. i had found it did fit but i found the friction was quite great,! maybee too much for the elastic? this is just bare aluminium not lubricated is this normal or do i need to get a longer clevis...
Dear all,
i am going to buy the laser g-xd harken gear.
The problem is, i can only afford one part at the moment either the xd deckpack for £185 or the harken vang / kicker for £175. I canafford either but not both a am also buying a clew sleve as it think the srtap is not very good...
hi all i know this is not a laser (lol) but it is enough to make you cry!!
Anyone want to post a reply? if so go to sailing anarchy.com find video and click on thread under the video!
Hi was rigging my laser the other day and realised the controls for the cunningham and outhaul both run either side of kicker. as in laser sailing you need to keep a bit of kicker on downwind, (it was also quite windy) i decided to leave outhaul on tight instead of struggling to pull it back in...
Dear all i brought a laser without the xd kit, is it really worth the extra money for the harken gear. all comments welcome i also need to purchase a combi, cover, under cover, sails (all 3 rigs) lol so alot of money
Dear all,
in my back garden i have an old laser hull which has no spars, sails, foils. (its just the floaty bit!) i was wondering if anyone has any wacky ideas that i could do with it i had one idea of turning it into a jet boat! on e-bay they sell a 3" bore petrol air cooled pump which would...
Hi i've just brought a laser with a brand new hull and the only number that i can find on it is on the transom. should there be another number somewhere else that i may have missed or is there only 1.
one other think the number on the back is GB PSE LS58 76B808 could anyone tell me the...
i have just brought a nice laser but the only thing is it has an aluminium tiller (a fat one) wich is a bit old and naf. i was thinking of buying a new one does anyone have any suggestions as to which is best for money? i looked on laser direct and a carbon slimline tiller was £150! is this...
hi who here thinks that the laser rig is old and about time they upgraded? if so please leave a comment on what you think they should do as im interested. i think they should keep the same hull but with a carbon unstayed mast xd kiker, standard legal outhaul and cunningham and a nice fully...
hi i have an old laser in the 80 thousands and it has the legal 2:1 standard outhaul which works fine for pulling the sail out but not in any suggestions? or any different outhaul systems that are reccomended? i have also brought the outhaul down from the gooseneck on a pulley the another on the...
hi guyz i have an old laser in the 80 thousands, and i brought the bare hull off e-bay for 50 quid. i have brought other parts to make it into a complete laser radial, but after about a year of sailing it and getting bored with the ugly colour of poo brown. i was wandering if it would be worth...
