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.
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!
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...
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.
Cleveland race week is only two weeks away. The Laser 2's have a start, and we'd like to see even more boats on the line. I know its short notice, but its summer, so find that old boat, get it over to Cleveland, and lets go racing!

Lasers, your on your own if you...
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...
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.
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...
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.
