Has anyone seen these sails anywhere? They look pretty cool. http://www.ebay.com/itm/laser-sail-hi-performance-/370687369750?pt=Boat_Parts_Accessories_Gear&hash=item564eb06216&vxp=mtr
I have never had a problem with it rigged around the boom, I heard it was supposed to help take pressure off the vang tang. I suppose it takes a little bit longer to rig each time, but other than that, it is good. I prefer the lower purchase too.
I always launch from a dock about 1 foot off the water. I rig fully except I leave the dagger board up and rudder up (but on). If there is a cross wind or i am launching into the wind (as long as it isn't too strong) if find as long as you have the mainsheet completely loose and you make sure to...
I have the same problem, I find it pops up when I tack and then I have to reach in and hit it down (or kick it with my heel). I find if I can stuff some control line in the gap between the board and the trunk before the start (once settings adjusted) it helps keep it down.
I just run a line through the eye's for the cunningham and outhaul then up around the boom vang tang. I also run my the bungee that holds my centerboard down through a loop in that line.
I was thinking of buying a never used laser official sail that is 7 years old and has never come out of its bag.
Asking is $375. I would only race with this sail, I have two others to train with.
Do you think this is good value, or might the sail be badly creased since I think it is...
I just ordered the Shin Tech Long Johns and Racing Shorts from Rooster UK, and they shipped it Fedex Express and it came in 3 days. I don't know about whether they ship to other places worldwide, but they do to Canada.
I am quite happy with all my Rooster stuff so far.
No - You can usually see a pretty clear dark circle right below the inspection port, with it dry everywhere else. It's not enough water to slosh around, but it gets fairly damp right below it. I'm pretty sure it's not coming from the centerboard trunk.
Hi,
I have an 88' laser. The hull is always completely dry, except for directly beneath the inspection port (starboard to centerboard trunk) it is usually damp after sailing. I was wondering if this is common problem people have, and if applying some silicone around the bottom of the...
Well, I have never raced a laser in competitive regatta's, although I have raced other boats, and have sailed a laser for quite about 7 years.
Do you know if you have to take off the outhaul and cunningham cleats in order to attach the spider compass mount?
thanks
Hi,
I have never raced a laser before but I was wondering if people find compasses useful? I already have deck holes for the deck plate.
I don't really want to take out my cunningham and outhaul deck plates, so I was wondering if there is any compass mount without the need for that...
I have a 133000 sail number laser (88') which has only been raced a couple of times and has overall been sailed very little. When compared to a 2004 that had been raced competitively for 5 years it is much stiffer, and in better condition. As long as your hull is stiff, I think you should have...
