    Laser 2 Question

    i did a speed run in 16 knots of wind, and I was going 9.75knots average over 1.15 nm. That was the most fun of my life(I was sailing solo) good idea on the tiller extension.

    trap for a laser?????

    with a laser rig, you'll be denying the rig a chance to dump to leeward to dump off power. i frequently solo my laser 2, and its no big deal... you just need a longer tiller extension to trapeze. i also use the spinnaker, and i don't think i could get into a laser today, its just too easy!

    Laser 2 Question

    actually, you'll probalby get more frustrated in the back... there are a lot of strings for the forward crew. its much easier if you call out the helm if needed. plus the main is the real throttle on those boats. as the helm, you can see the crew and learn from their techniques. the first...

    Laser 2 Question

    Personally, I think helm is by far easier then crewing in this boat. I race mine when I can, and I also sail it a lot solo. Its a good boat, not perfect, but good. Check the cockpit floor, mast step, and other load bearing areas.

    Boat registration for laser in Ohio

    ODNR doesn't know anything. At least the people up in Cleveland, the guy doing the safe boater presentation. Ohio boating laws and regulations are focused around stupid powerboaters and they throw me into the mix because I have a small sailboat. The laws are so stupid and ridiculous. If your...

    beach launching in Cleveland area

    I think you have to ramp it. Thats what I do with my Laser 2. I'm looking at getting a sunfish (less rigging, more sailing). Brad street Landing in Rocky River is my only thought. I go to Edgewater Public Ramps though.

    Soft Cockpit Floor

    My laser 2 has gotten really bad over the past winter. I think the last of the wood inside the boat has rotted away. I think I need to go in and do something to try to fix the problem. All my past searches turn up references to dead links. The flexing is bad enough that a light tug on the...

    The Laser 2

    We're working on it... there are 3 maybe 4 events for us this year. The two is a great boat. I wish I had a newer one(I have a 81). I'd like to find a good one with a spinnaker launcher built in. Are you looking at buying one? Location?
