    Best Way To Tow A Laser?

    Ideal with someone in it, and the rudder in place for steerage. They are so light, they end up sideways real easy with no one onboard. Can you get someone in it?

    bailer removal

    Thanks moderator for the spelling adjustment on my first poast. Whilst I understand the search for speed is a game of microns, theres plenty of other reasons why my boat is not travelling at optimim. Most of them centred around me. Accordingly, i have never bothered sealing the bailer in on...

    Pointing

    Winds 8 to 12 - im using cunno in these conditions for sure. Not cranked on, but definitely on. In light winds while pointing, constantly working the tiller for the right angle. Boat speed is something to be first built and then maintained by allowing the boat to point lower momentarily as required.

    My Laser hull restoration review

    I was referring to the rear cross member, and was just suggesting some black tube rubber. Cut it down the centre and slip it on. Looking at the pic again, now I see the trolley wheels you mention - Are they attached to the trailer or the dolley?

    My Laser hull restoration review

    Also wanted to recommend http://laserdirect.com.au/store/ these guys are in SA, (Im in Sydney) but I buy all my genuine Laser stuff through them. PSA, (who would have built your boat) are in NSW, but their online shop is crappy - cant do freight at time of checkout. Defeats the purpose I...

    My Laser hull restoration review

    You might wanna cover the rear cross member on your dolly so that your nice new paint job doesn't get scratched up first time out... Take a trip to Clark Rubber...

    My Laser hull restoration review

    A Mexican eh.... As for Aussies on here, there seems to be a few. What would a sailing forum be without us? Pretty gay I would think... Yeah, it pays to be in shape. Im in shape - nice and round. Haha. Have fun.

    hiking pants

    These are my pick... http://gillna.com/p-469-wetsuit-hiking-shorts.aspx Adjustable side tabs allow a bit of adjustment just in case the week leading up to race day saw an increased intake of malted barley, hops, water & sugar.

    Old man beginner

    Re: that hump you speak of - just sail over it mate. There's plenty of fun to be had on the other side of it, and by racing with your local club, you'll probably find that your 6-7 years in the boat will serve you well. In a game of inches, the start is very important. As the first leg is...

    Getting A New, Tight Connector Sleeve To Fit

    I would suggest you move to Sydney... Bought replacement connector sleeves online from laserdirect.com.au at the right price, which subsequently arrived on time. Went to a screws/fasteners wholesaler about 400m from my office who supplied me with stainless 3/16 rivets - as I only wanted half...

    Play in mast joint

    Thanks guys - appreciate the feedback. I agree with Tenty - its not collar wear. I thought it was, so ordered new collar and bottom plug. When fitting them up last night, (aren't those rivets fun to set in !!), after removing the original collar, I tried both the old & new in the top of the...
