I own a Catalina 25 at Perry Yacht Club, Perry, Kansas. I'd like to get into single-handed dinghy racing this year and I'm thinking about purchasing a Laser. But first, I have a few questions. I'm 6'0 185lbs with 15 years of sailing and racing experience. Why should I buy a Laser? What advantages are there to buying a new Laser vs. a used one? How well do they do in handicap races? Am I too heavy for this boat to race? Where are Laser's raced in this area, i.e., Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, etc. What recommended Laser reading material is available? Thanks in advance for your help. -Earl
