Hello, I am a 15 year old laser sailor in Baltimore Maryland. I am trying my best to get up to the NA's, but since i cant drive and I am having trouble finding a ride up with my boat, i am wondering if anyone knows of any place near Cedar Point YC where i can rent or borrow a laser for this...

Another question...when i am gybing while going downwind, I find that the block end of my mainsheet fouls around the aft corner of the boat. this happens in both light and heavy airs. this is a real big nuisance...i'm wondering if i am doing something wrong or if this is normal for most laser...
