    Mainsheet Length

    Does anyone know the length of a laser mainsheet that when two figure eight knots at the end the boom is at 91 or 92 degrees? I lost my mainsheet and dont want to buy the recomended 46 feet, which seems like way to much for me.

    Batten End cap stuck in Batten pocket!!

    Poking a wire in there was just the trick. It also helps to have a flashlight to hold the end of the pocket agianst so ou can see where everything is.

    Sail Age

    Can you tell the age of a sail by looking at it? I have what apears to be a never used sail, but it seems kind of old, it has green stiching across the pannels, and an older looking Red patch, no button. It even smells old, and feels a little waxy to the touch. Could this sail be competetive...

    What the Heck is this on deck of '75 boat?

    Today I saw on a really old laser a (3 inch diameter?) circle piece of metal on the deck about half way between the cunningham fairlead, and the cunningham cleat. This was a really old boat. All i remember is that it was build in '75 and had a builder mark/sticker on the bow side of the mast...

    Travler

    Also, if the line is brand new, go over it with a little sand paper. The new lines are really slippery, and sand paper helps to roughen up the line.

    Class Politics  Outhaul Attachment

    Can I "attach" an optional outhaul block to the ouhaul clam cleat by tying a bowline around the block, and then passing the tail end of the bowline through the cleat, and then tie the tail around the boom?

    Hiking Pants

    I have SEA 3/4 Airprene pants. Haven't had a problem yet. High quality, durability, and style. The SEA lycra over pants are also very nice, and provide more durrability to the garmet, and take away those embarrasing hiking pants tans between the pants and the boots.

    Sail rolling or folding?

    This subject has pretty much been beaten to death, with no conclusive answers. I guess it depends on what you want to do.

    Boot Choices

    I know some people who have the Marmaru, I have never worn it, but the inside is just pure rubber (i think), so that would probably be a little irritating.

    Boot Choices

    I highly recomend the Aigle Bora boot. It is really nice becauses it has a neoprene liner on the inside of the waterproof outer layer. These are nice because the boots rarely get wet on the inside, as opposed to the only neoprene boots, which always get wet when you go out, so you spend half...
