ok so a quick question: what is the best way to store my laser for the winter? (it will be inside) on the trailer (i have an aluminum trailex trailer) on the dolly or upside down, sitting on wood blocks? thanks!

the six numbers sound great. i will e-mail you my address to send them to me. thanks so much!

I need to change my sail numbers by next sunday and didn't realize i don't have everything i need. so i went out to APS and they were sold out of the blue digital 8's that i need three of to finish my numbers. where else can i order these numbers from???

any suggestions for strengthening the outside of the knee? also, the rooster article said strengthening of the inner quad was important too...so any suggestions on that too?

This knee stuff is bad. my knee has been bugging me since last June, and i finally found out what it is: its the same thing that is being talked about in the article at the website above, called chondromalacia. i guess its really not that serious (yet) just painful, so all i have to do is wear a...

when you decide that you would rather get a new boat than a car. my friends (the non-sailors) all think i'm crazy for this though.

when all you get for christmas is laser sailing gear and you don't even care about not getting anything else

personally i would say to go with one of the upgrades. i did not have a dolly this past summer and, while it was annoying at times, i still managed. the upgrades are really the important parts, seeing as how they are actually the stuff you need to use on the water. hope this helps some.

I got a purple blade bag, a pair of SEA airprene hiking pants, and a long-sleeve rash guard. Merry Christmas everyone!!!
