My Laser doesn't have a serial stamp, but I think it is about a 1980 hull with several British stickers on it. In very good shape, a solid hull, well kept.
I want to inspect the mast step to see if I should reinforce it. Where exactly should I put the inspection port if not centerline (to avoid the plywood reinforcement on centerline of the deck)? How far off approximately?
Does anyone know a good way to test the step (What is the crow bar method???)
Also, are there some construction types that are worse than others? So, even if it is solid, I might want to reinforce it anyway?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Jim
