Personally I always take a top from a cringles chip can, cut away the ridge that goes around the edge with scissors then drop it in the hole before stepping my mast.

Its been a while since I have come back to this forum ....... its much different ...... and the reason i came back was to look at the laser calendar and see what travelling regatta's I should go to this year :o(

There will have to be a rule about using this kind of stuff on boats.

Oh I will...... my wife won't let me do it unless I take a lesson. Its worth it to get into it though with the gorge and the coast so close.

I just thought I would drop a note on what I do with my smelly hiking pants. Each time after I use them, I spray simple green on them and then rinse them with fresh water. I mentioned this to some one else in my club, and he thought it was great. So just thought I would share little bit of...

She won't come on the laser. She does come out on the bigger keel boats that I get to take out every now and then.
