    Southwest laser regattas around New Years?

    Hey all, I'm going to be in Santa Barbara for a week surrounding New Years this year. Last time I was there at that time there was a laser regatta going on, so this year I thought I'd look around and see if there is anything I can charter a boat for this year. Unfortunately, I can't seem to...

    tiller wear plate repair

    Yesterday I was in the middle of a race and the traveler wear plate on my Laser brand carbon tiller fell off. Luckily I was able to grab it before it fell into the water- question is, what sort of glue should I use to put it back on? It's a carbon/SS interface... Thanks, Matt

    Installing mast wear plates?

    I've got a wearite disk and a carbo disk, but the directions on both just say to drop 'em into the mast step, and that's it. Shouldn't one be glued to the mast and one to the bottom of the mast step? How do most people install these things? Thanks.

    Calling all CT laser sailors

    I just wanted to inform anyone that's listening that there is a Thursday night series in Westbrook, CT, that started this summer. The first summer series just ended and the next one begins this Thursday. It's a fun crowd but we'd love to see more lasers on the line! The local frostbiting...

    Bottom Coat

    I've seen people use Starbrite as a bottom coat before regattas, but I've also heard that waxes are slow. What's the best way to prepare your hull for a big race? Thanks, Matt

    Trailer Ball Size?

    I'm looking at a laser with a trailer tomorrow. Problem is, the owner doesn't know what size ball the trailer takes, nor the model of trailer it is. It looks like most trailers of that size are 1-7/8". Is it safe to assume this is the size I'll need?

    Cartop (or tow hitch) on a Jetta Sedan possible?

    I'm looking at getting a new (used) car and I want to be sure I can cartop a laser on whatever I get. Does anyone know if I can cartop a laser on a '00-'06 model VW Jetta sedan? Also, can a tow hitch be added to that car, and even if it can be, is it worth finding a car that can car-top rather...
