I found a guy on Etsy who makes bags and got one. the spin is big. I haven't figured out how to get mine rigged into the cockpit. it takes up a bit of space. I didn't have the laser out much last year. so I didn't do much to it. I should single hand it some this year. I've lost inspiration to...

I found stuff called 3m safety walk. I think at home Depot. its a greyish rubber sorta grip rape.

I learned something! and my crew on the l2 runs the vang. I steer and mainsheet. :-) and pick up floating crew sometimes. the standard laser vang actually works fine. takes a little more muscle but never had a problem with it. we don't do too much vang adjustment generally. I've had the one...

the one on the left came with my first boat. and I think that's the one pictured in the parts lists or manual etc and is original to the boat (?) Lali? the one on he right came with one of the other boats I picked up. big difference in gear. also, in my experimentation with with vangs, I did...

I'll have to dig out the one I got eith my boat. its not that one. I have one of those and I like it better. its got another I should find a pic of the one that came with my boat. its a single block. I have the double one that I assumed was a later fitment too which I like better. you just know...

oh, and get some grip tape on the rail. being on the wire sucks without tape. 3m makes stuff I found at home Depot or Lowe's. works great. and you can fit bottleports in the gunwhales.

fogh kicks ass for l2parts! if you don't have a spin, (looks like the halyard is there?) don't bother asking them if you need one! I got the last laser performance Olympic spin they had in north America. :) I don't see track rigging or the tell tale hoops on the boom either. but they are super...

lemme see what i can find for you today. its a small piece. i could always drop something in the mail to you. lol. its a challenge. its small. finding a shop can be tricky sometimes. most places will have scraps that big. depending on thickness. wholesalers wont talk to you and youll need...

where are you? be carefull buying mahogany here. lots of people call other things mahogany and mahogany is only south american. (african mahog sapele etc are things people call mahogany but they are not) and south american pattern grade is mostly bought up by instruement makers here. sold...

yeah, i looked at spray tops quite a bit. hmm. there is neoprene under the knees there and thats the only spot that has that. i think the wind just plain cools the water and outter suit no matter. even when i surfed years ago being in the water was fine. being out, yep, that walk on the beach...

so far ive been in a 4/3. with 2mm boots and some 1mm socks. been using some weird neoprene gloves i randomly have. been out in 45 air 50 water no problems. my feel get cold a little. but its been fine. i have a drysuit but havent had it on yet. had it all last year but never went out. i have a...
