I just recently bought my first Laser a couple of months ago in the hopes of getting back into racing. However, due to the high cost of Lasers in Europe, I bought a 1989 laser a with serial / sail number of 134,---. Now, I see that mostly all lasers that are racing competitively range from 170,--- to 190,--- in sail numbers.
Is my Laser too old for racing? It has a solid deck, clean and dry hull, and I spent money in upgrading the outhaul, cunningham, and kicker and will buy a new sail shortly. I understand that it is the sailor that makes the difference, but how would a late 80's boat fair on a club, national, and international level?
