When i replaced my mast step on my V15 i had to drill out the screws (another great LP design!) so i have 3 screws rolling around on the inside. I was able to flush one out after many attempts but its not worth it

I just saw this for the first time but seeing the nice white sail get shreaded (legal too!), I must say this is the most creative waste of a way to get rid of an old boat. Im sure their was more than just that one victimized Laser YouTube - Allstate TV Ad: Lawn Game Mayhem

My local LP dealer doesnt have any, APS doesnt have any and ive exhausted all possibilities but I cant hunt down a Holt Allen Vang. I need the extra $100 for other parts. Ive read the stories of how LP is "questionably" still alive. Does anybody know of someone with a second vang or a local...

For the red hull, wet sand and wax about 6-10 times and itll look like it came out of the factory. You can use Lysol Toilet bowl bleach (you need the thick blue gooey one) and that will do. Mix it with some Ajax and make a paste and let it sit for about 20 mins and itll come white. If your...

The Dinghy Shop in Amityville (631)-264-0005 sells loadrites and I think they are a Kitty Hawk dealer as well. Give them a call, they always have everything i need and they can always get something too.

Re: Double trialer I have an A-frame traieler roughly 18 feet long that I use for my v15 and laser. I trailer them deckside down.

Re: Double trialer Hmmm that looks a little risky, plus i dont think I have the heart to torture my Laser like that. Thanks for the idea reply though:D

Im in need of a double trailer but would rather make one than spend $600. Does anybody have any dimensions or some plans for making one up? I plan on converting the trailer I have now. Ive searched the forum and cant seem to find any. I would like for it to be able to hold 2 Lasers or 2 V15s...

I have a gill suit which works great. January 1st last year i went for a nice little swim and didnt have any problem. Ive heard some great things about Henry Lloyd equipment and my brother has one hes been using for years with no problems. I felt that my Gill one needed a "break in period" since...

Ive done frostbite sailign in the past in El Toros (big Optis) at my yacht club and was able to get away with spray pants a couple layers and a spray top boots and gloves. I bought a dry suit in an end of the season sale and used it once but I coudlnt get my boots zippered. Im frostbiting this...

I originally ordered a new sail through LP last February then canceled after the 2 month wait. Turned out my local dealer had a hole stock of new sails so I ended up going threw them instead.

Back in May my laser and V15 fleet applied for the sick day program where they give you a new boat at half the cost. On June first I called and they said that they only had a few applicants and that there was enough boats for each applicant. I called weekly until mid July and finally gave up. I...

A couple years back I saw someone actually do a science project on the affects of weight posistion vs speed. This kid had everything knocked out from 4 knots to 30. I think he had someone on a powerboat time him from point A to point B and watched the time it took for each time of wind in each...

So im sailing in my clubs fall series and for the second weekend in a row someones mast step failed. Last week was 6 knots and this week was 15 with gusts to 22. One boat was a 90' and the other early 80's. I have a 93' and im starting to worry a little. I noticed there was a crack at the bottom...

You can fill in the holes with some high density west filler (make sure you use a siringe if you do!) which in my opinion works amazing. Its cheap to get the quick kit at west marine or some other marine supply. You could always use some 5200 sealer as well. I found the west works better having...

Its not the airline is TSA that you have to worry about. My dads a pilot for usair and when I traveled with my tiller and extension (on usair) he recommended i check it because your bound to get some idiot reading the screen thinking its a club or a bat and you get to watch them throw $400...

Depending on where you are but Guck Inc in Bristol RI does V15 Daggerboard trunk repairs and they do an amazing job. Ive heard miracle stories about how they fix boats, that fall off cars or massive port/starboard and you cant even tell. Im sure they do lasers too! Some of the jobs they do...

In 2 knots of wind every once of speed is key so keep a little leeward heel in but make sure that you dont go so fast that the boat shakes and shutters from your jumping around to the other side. Without an opposing wind force like you would see in 12-15 the boat will come down a lot faster and...

I just use a line with about 6 knot stoppers on it with a hook attach to the boom. It doesnt come off it stays attached to the boom. Then i take the outhaul line and attach it to the hook and it works great. Its easy on easy off and theres no resistance what so ever. I used to have the velcro...

A friend of mine has a 1987 Black laser that somebody wanted to throw out and it looks brand new.
