Trailex Sure do wish I could say that I had the problem of too many boats! :) I just picked-up a used Trailex (single) recently...I love it! If the quality on their multiple boat trailers matches that of the singles...I'd reccommend them in a heartbeat. They're super light, they tow...

Sounds about right....Lasers were sailed for how many years with out them, so I guess I can live that way for a while too. I do like the idea of just replacing them with a few inexpensive blocks...Crawl before you walk! Hey Kristian, One of these days, you'll absolutely be seeing me...

Ok, so I've bought a Laser and it doesn't have the upgrades for either the vang or the outhaul. How big of a deal is this really? (it's currently set up with thimbles) I'm not planning on racing right away...I'd like to spend some time just dorking around on it, checking things out & getting...

I'm good to go....picked up my new (used) Laser yesterday afternoon! It's in really good condition; there's a few things I would have to do to make it race ready I suppose, but I'm not in a hurry for that. Right now, I just want to learn it & have some fun. Thanks for all the geat tips...

I've got a line on one I'm going to take a look at tomorrow...It's got everything I'm looking for, but the price is just a hair higher than I wanted, but it may be worth it. We shall see... Thanks for all the great advice everyone! Mick

Wish I could afford new...but I can't. I actually just called Hedlund yesterday looking for used Lasers & they told me about those boats. I've had a couple of positive leads over the past few days...time will tell if something pans out. I'll find one sooner or later...hopefully sooner; I'm...

Thanks for the information Greg! Mick

Great idea...I'm almost ashamed to admit that I never thought of that! What's the NA list? Thanks, Mick

Does anyone know of any other good resources for finding used Lasers? This is where I've been checking: www.laserforum.org www.laser.org www.teamvanguard.com I've also sent out emails to several Laser email groups for the District 20 area as well as doing numerous web searches (which...

I checked it out yesterday, but passed on it for various reasons Mick

I think I'll know better once I go and actually take a look at the boat, but as of "right now", I'm leaning towards a Laser. Everything just points that way.... Quanity...I should be able to find one fairly easy A true one design...I really want to focus on improving my skills & I don't...

Thanks....I'm going to take a peek at it if for no other reason than to just satisfy my curiousity. It does't cost anything to look. Thanks, Mick

I really haven't decided on whether or not racing is something I want to do...It's food for thought! Thanks Mick

Are there major differences between a Laser and a Force 5? Or is it just a matter of preference? Thanks, Mick

Ok....I've read that there have been some problems with lasers that were manufactured by Sunfish. Do all Sunfish Lasers have problems or is this more of a "I had a bad Ford once, so all Fords are bad!" kind of thing? I'm asking because I recently came across a '93; it was donated to an...
