I dont think my parents will go for that. I do great when the wind isnt to strong. Ever since i got the boat i havent had any trouble until the 20 + winds

I dont weigh enough for my full rig. Since there is to much wind I'll just say home. My one day in the last month I can go and it is to windy to stay upright.

The director had curly hair. Wasnt that tall. But i still did call and leave messages asking when classes would start. A few months later when i called back the people seemed nice. I want to get back down there, join and go sailing but i have alot of band stuff now. Where are you going to...

Yea i did go down there and talked to the director. I wanted to go to the classses and he said he would call me in January when they would start. Never happened. I called and left messages three times over the the next month with no reply. I gave them a good chance to reply. Last month was...

Yea i know of that place. It sounds great except that you totally blew me off when i wanted to learn to sail. I'm only 14 and that really ticked me off. No answered phone calls and no replies to emails. Despite that i still want to join because looks great. So what would a laser fleet do...

Is there anyone in Vero Beach fl. I love sailing but never see anyone else. I's seen one laser and a hobie sailing. Thats it. The waters not the best so i guess that turns away serious sailors. Dan

Thanks for all your help. I just closed the deal on the laser tonight for 850. I cant wait to take it out now Dan

How is gelcoat sold, and how do i match the color? Will west marine sell the right stuff? Thanks Dan

One more question. How do i tell if the sail is a radial? I read that there are alot of different models of radial sails. Finally to fix the hole do i just put gelcost in the puncture?

So were the radial sails colored back in the day? If so how do i tell?

Also the sail has a window. I really hope that i can to simple racing with this sail even if it is blown out. Thanks Dan

Hey, Finally after my 3 month boat search i found a boat less than 3 hours away and still for sail. But i do have some questions. They deck is really stiff the the bottom of the cocpit flex alot. Will this be a problem. Plus i couldnt find the serial number. Where it be. There is a shiny...
