I came back from holidays, and I think there's a wasps nest in the hull of my Laser. Wasps coming in and out. I went sailing nevertheless. Afterwards I closed the rear plug and the inspection port. When I sailed next day, the wasps were still busy. I can't see the nest through the inspection...
I left my boat out in the Swedish winter. When I could finally take it inside today I saw that
the mast step was full with water/ice. It has probably re-frozen several times during the last month.
Not good. But the mast step holds water, and inside the hull the mast step was dry. The putty is in...
Hello,
I meticulously followed the instructions for installing the Laser
XD Powerpack outhaul and cunningham. One is supposed to
"dead end" lines to blocks and to the boom fitting.
A couple of days ago the line dead-ended to the boom fitting came off
in strong winds, and thus the sail...
Can one tell the age of a boom from the fact that it is white? I sailed in 10 m/s
today and needed to put a lot of vang on (6:1 system). The boom curved
considerably (but it did not bend permanently). How can I tell whether
it has a sleeve installed?
Yours Bernhard
I've seen that some people have an adhesive ruler tape taped on the boom,
to aid setting the outhaul.
I'm wondering where I could buy such tape. I should be grateful if someone
could point me to a source. I've tried marking the boom with a permanent
whiteboard pen, but it doesn't work very...
I still have an old style vang and want to upgrade it by adding
some blocks. I read about the 6:1 vang, and that's probably what
I'll do. But I should be very grateful if somebody could explain
to me how to rig this one

I've recently bought my 2nd Laser (92xxx), having moved back to the Baltic Sea.
The first one I had was bought in 1978 (I think). I'm eager to get sailing, but I must deal
with the mast step first. I've read the corresponding threads with interest, but
I'm afraid I still have some questions...
