Mark: Save your money and go for the generic bailer; no one is ever going to check or protest you. E

50 cents. But you'll have to buy your own new sail. I just donated my 1988 boat to a sailing school. Three sails, full new rigging. Really, a Laser that old should be donated to anyone willing to sail it. E

Leaky Lena is a 1988 or 89 boat, with a "gloriosus" past; current Camellia Cup Champion... Bought it in 2011 when I got back into sailing and have sailed it probably 300 times in SF bay. Always leaked but every year I would fix the leak and get it in good enough shape to still be used it as a...
