Hi All,
Am new to the Laser class (mainly sailed Enteprises in the UK) and am looking at buying my first laser (second hand). I am going ot see it on Saturday afternoon and was just wondering if I could get some pointers and what to look for and what to watch out for.
The sail number is mid 120k
I have asked about the mast step which is water tight as well as other repairs, the seller has told me that there has been a repair inside the cockpit, where the side-walls meet the cocpit floor, the gelcoat has been ground off, and fibreglass strip bonded. The floor and approx bottom 10cm have then been covered in marine paint.
I have also asked about the decks going soft and any de-lamination.
It has an XD down/outhall but the old kicker
The price seems pretty good and am only looking to race at club level, if I get really into it then I will sell and buy something allot newer and more competative.
Any thoughts good or bad would be very helpful
Many Thanks
Jack
