Recently i bought a 1985 laser for £350 with two sails (average nick) and some xd gear (holt xd kicker, holt xd cunningham and vang, carbon extension(rough), padded toestrap) i thought it was a bargain although i knew that it would need a little bit of work, although it doesn't leak an ounce.
its had a repair on the gunwale (solid but looks a mess) but under neath it needs a little bit of work and i was wondering if i was better to re gelcoat it or paint it.
Ive replaced some of the hardware (blocks except the ratchet), put a new friction pad on and alo added a rigid spring.
Also whats the best way to make the foils look shiny and new?
Im not new to laser sailing (been sailing a 99 race for two years at school) just this is my first and i want to do it properly.
Thanks
James
