Thanks Lali. I'll give that method a try. Any advice on what size the holes should be? I'm thinking no more than 3/16", probably 1/8". This boat is like-new otherwise and I'm just shocked at how quickly the floor went from stiff to soft in one day of regatta racing with zero abuse.

I have a mid-1990s Laser with a factory defect in the foam core's adhesion to the fiberglass floor in the front left corner of the cockpit. This boat has been stored indoors and dry its whole life and never has been sailed hard, or extensively; it must be a manufacturing defect. The ~6"x~10"...

Not saying this is the best way, but what I did was chip out the old donut, clean the crevice between the tube and pocket, and inject thickened epoxy in there after roughing and recleaning the surface. After the epoxy cured, I roughed up the tube and wrapped fiberglass tape impregnated with...

Thanks, but both of these boats are outside my price range.

When in planing conditions, something you can do to save drag is slide back and pump the sail as a gust hits. Then, once the bow is out and the boat is stable and planing, slide a little bit further forward. This allows the boat to continue planing without dragging the transom as deeply in the...

Understandable dilemma, but I don't think the addition of a stamp to gear would be difficult, expensive, or politically controversial. This is only improving transparency of the class, however, this is just IM(unqualified)HO.

@AlanD I'd just like to point out that numerous Laser Class official items are marked with stickers only. In my experience, most of the time a sticker and stamp are present, but I have seen new Lasers with spars only marked with stickers. Not trying to spark a fire here, but I think all Laser...

Wanted: Laser that could be taken to big events. Solid hull, no soft spots anywhere, no hull damage, decent blades, decent sail, dolly, standard rig and new rigging. Would be nice if it came w/ covers and a carbon tiller/extension as well.

Boat still available! Contact above email address for additional info.

Yes, it is still available.
