What's my Laser's Age? - Hull #1258

My Laser's Hull #1258. I've been sailing it for ten years or so. It's in pretty good shape, but is going to get some TLC this winter.

Can anyone shed some light on its age?

Thanks,

Chris

Hull #1258 1971??? 1972???

Older lasers: Last four digits of sail number may be missing or belong to an unknown code (e.g. ZFS 33426 0376 = march '76?). Boat manufacturing codes seem to conform to some industry norm - an Alden Ocean (rowing) shell hull number has a similar format.

1971 to 1973 Hulls: Sail number is only found on deck, under the bow eye. It is also reported that following the Laser prototypes, the first mass-manufactured Laser was numbered 101.

I had hull #108 for awhile. I restored her and sailed her. Kinda wish I still had it. It was cool to see a laser with three digits on the sail and have it be the legit number.
