    Separating Hull and Deck

    Re: Seperating Hull and Deck I used a dremel to separate the deck and hull on my L2. I found it easiest to use a cut-off wheel and then gently pry the hull apart for a flat screwdriver. If you work it slowly and cut the filler about 1/2" deep it seemed to split pretty easily. I've attached a...

    Hull Repair

    Bruce, I had a similar issue on an L2 and my Laser. On the L2, I had water ingress from a quarter sized nick around the daggerboard slot and a few cracks around the gunwales.

    Laser Worlds 2008 and 2011

    Shipping a Laser Mast

    Has anyone shipped a laser mast? I'm looking at buying a used mast for a laser 2 but I'll need to have it shipped from Arizona to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Any suggestions? Thanks, Matt

    Help - What boat is this? Laser? No...

    This boat was listed locally for sale as a Laser 2 but it doesn't look like any of the laser 2's that I've seen. Can anyone tell me what it is? Thanks, Matt
