manateerichard- All set. It took a few days for Apple's review, but you should be able to use it on the older devices. I don't have a gen 1 iPod Touch to test. Can you let me know if it works for you? Thanks, John

manateerichard - Shouldn't be a problem. I used the default from Apple -- looks like they want to push upgrades! For future reference, doesn't the iTunes store give you a warning if it won't run? John

Lazzzerrr- Fair enough. I lowered the price to 99 cents. PM me and I'll refund the difference to you or pass on a couple of Promo Codes to give to your friends. John

urbo100- Thanks. I've never done Android, but would consider it if this takes off. John

It's appropriate that the world's largest one-design racing class is the first to have it's own iPhone App. I have just loaded a new iPhone App called LaserRacer on the iTunes store. It is edited by Andrew Scrivan, an outstanding sailor and coach from Cedar Point. Here's the description...

Pedal-Force, It's not that complicated -- a little trial and error will help you find what's right for you. Good choice on getting a breathable dry-suit. Here are some observations from over a decade of frostbiting in Connecticut. Some lasers, some Dyer Dhow -- through the entire winter as...

Lazzzerr- Have you seen the "Two Laser Carrier" adapter from APS? See http://www.apsltd.com/c-2186-laser-dollies-trailers-travel-accessories.aspx It's not the best picture, but I have seen one going together and it looked well made.

Thanks, torrid. That's exactly the answer I was looking for.

Another question for owners of the stainless Kittyhawk trailer: They mention that the rims are galvanized. What other parts are not stainless or plastic? I can't imaging that the bearings are stainless. How about hubs, etc? Is it really something that you can use to drop a boat into...

Re: Sailfit (Kurt Taulbee) Chicag Clinic If you have the opportunity, I'd highly recommend it. I did his clinic in March of this year and it really helped my sailing. Kurt's a great teacher.

Rusty- This link to the University of Iowa site might be helpful. It is copyrighted, but has an email link to the author. If you're using it for non-profit purposes, you can probably get permission to print it. It covers FJ and laser. You could always edit out the parts that aren't relevant...

This is the most in-depth article I've seen. http://web.archive.org/web/20041220101431/www.drlaser.org/frm/plfinstBHf.html

Has this ever happened before? Ernesto Rodriguez got a first in all six races in a 73 boat (registered) fleet? Is that amazing or what??? Who is this guy?

torrid- I don't think anything will hold up well to decaying pine needles and leaves. You're asking for trouble with a new cover and that mix. You're guaranteed some nasty stains. Why not get a cheap, waterproof tarp at Home Depot for the under-tree storage and save the wear and tear on the new...

mee168- He sells them for $135 delivered. See the want ad he posted, which has pix: http://www.laserforum.org/showthread.php?t=2337 John
