Since Laser sailing is WET sailing, is there a magic number for water tempurture when one should consider packing up your lasers 'til next season? Maybe I'm being a woos, but reading how quickly hypothermia affects you at different temps, I thought I'd get your input. I've read the threads on...
Is it possible to re-attach the boom while still under sail? I must not have tighted the boom vang or the outhaul enough and it came crashing down into the cockpit after a couple hours of sailing. When I couldn't coordinate controling the tiller and reattaching the boom at the same time, I let...
I've found a spot on the lake during the remainder of the sailing season, but need a dolly that allows a one person launch/retrieval on an incline. Does anyone know of one that's both inexpensive and easy to use? Not interestested in building my own, but don't want to pay the seitech price...

Any comments on the differences between the sunfish and the laser? Is one more appropriate for a middle aged beginner tthan the other? As far as the used market in my area (fingerlakes NY,) so far there have been more lasers.
