I was able to source the pennant locally from a local sailing shop for 1/3 the price. He just put it together for me custom. You might want to try someone local out. I had a shroud fail on me and he said it was at the swag point. Check those out, and think about replacing them. Fixing a...

One of the tires and inner tubes on my dynamic dolly bit the dust. I was looking at replacements and the price seems pretty crazy. Can someone point me to the tire and inner tube that they have used to replace it? The price of a tire and tube is almost the same price as the entire wheel assembly.

I recently swapped mine out with that kit and it went smoothly. The hardest part was cutting the loop that attached to the mast .

A few months ago, one of my shrouds failed and boom. I have successfully repaired it and she looks great. One problem I have is that I forgot how to rig up the jib with the furler. Currently the furler line is all the way out, what are the rigging steps to fix the furler so it works. Also...

Congrats!

Yeah, lots of shortages. I had to replace my son's laser upper because it snapped that had to get shipped from the UK.

None, it looked good. Someone who I know in the business said "Nicopress sleeves should never be used on 1 x 19 wire."

This weekend I had two of my Sea Scouts sailing my 1985 mod 1 C14.2. It was blowing and the shroud failed..... Thankfully nobody was hurt and the damage wasn't worse. Look likes I just need to replace the mast step, shrouds, and mast pivot bolt.

Another Central Texas Capri owner. We should get together! I sail out of Austin Yacht Club. Replace the shrouds.... see my new thread

Rod from Vela is a great guy, I have ordered loads of stuff from him. He is also very knowledgable and answers the phone and will talk to you about the parts.

Fiberglass laid down, needs to be sanded.

I would but my son already went to fixing it last night, ground the area down an laid down three layers of glass. Gotta love it when a 17 year old does all his own repair work :-) I will post pics today of the progress.

Thanks, I figured it was something like that. He just finished a full year of hard racing with a bunch of races in the gulf so the boat had lots of stresses.

After each day of racing my son's laser would end up with about a quart of water in the hull. We finally think we tracked it down. The bubble test showed bubble at the top of the mast cup right at the seam between the deck and the cup on one side. not a huge leak but we want to take care of...

Digging up an ancient thread. I am wondering if this worked? I have an RV that I take to Sailing regattas and would like to tow my Honda Fit behind with the Laser topped on top of that.
