Thank you for the great suggestion. I just ordered it on Amazon.

Thank you for the suggestion about the video and joining the Laser Class. Is it a regional North American one that you sign up for? It has been so long since I was a member.

My 13 year old is going to informally sail a Laser this summer, he has outgrown his Opti. When I was his age, I really enjoyed Laser Sailing for the 1990's by Dick Tillman. I still have my dog-eared copy. I would totally give him my copy, but there is so much that has changed since that book...

Thank you, I was checking out blocks. A few more questions, is the Harken T2 18mm, not used anymore or would you do a Harken 18mm micro? Do you use the D version on the Ronstan which is lubricated or the version without the D? Great, I will not worry about this. Great I will find that! I...

My 1994 Laser has been stored inside for the last 10 years and I am curious what upgrades I need to make to make it race ready again. I have bought the XD Cunningham/Outhaul deck plate and cleat base without any lines or blocks. I would love any links on the latest/preferred rigging of this...

The boat has always belonged to me. My parents bought it in the spring of 94 for me. I will check for excessive bend though. If it does, I will come back on and ask about excessive bend. Thank you!

Yes, that was part of my question. I only asked about the new harken traveler block because I was not sure if I knew where my old ones were and it looked like you would not have to use electrical tape to keep them together. Thanks for the information. My boom question was if anyone knew if...

Thank you for all the information. I will get a strap thanks to your advice and stay with my old traveler blocks. I think I was enamored by all the new options out there. This will allow me to put more money into getting the rest of the new system right. I did find that I can just buy the...

I have a 1994 Laser that was raced up until 2002. I had a full understanding of the time of the optimal way to rig my boat with trucker hitch purchases. I really want to upgrade the boat to the new XD rigging, but like so many people the price is holding me back. I am thinking of buying...
