    Looking to put a fair price on an older Laser

    Look, i get you’re just trying to get a straight answer on here and not having any luck. I bought my laser used as a project boat b/c i wanted to learn everything i can about it and put it back together. I paid $800 bucks and it was in pretty good shape and didn’t want to spend $6000 bucks on a...

    Class Politics New builders

    They need to announce a new builder for their USA website, because the new www.laser.org sucks!

    New to all things Sunfish/Sailing

    Dude, take some time out and a little cash and stop being so cheap. Take some personal responsibility while you’re at it and get some lessons or take a beginner sailing course! $200 bucks isn’t much compared to you wrecking your boat and getting hurt or hurting someone else.

    Rudder and Daggerboard help

    Hi all, I have a wooden rudder and centerboard for my project boat laser. I bought them used so don’t know what kind of wood it is but the paint is coming off and i plan to sand it this week. It’s wood and obviously going in the water so i want to seal it but i don’t know what kind of sealant...

    Laser (full rig) vs Radial

    Hi guys, Just wondering what makes a Laser Radial different than a Standard. I know the sail size is smaller but is that the only difference? I mean, if i had a standard would i just have to switch out the sails and whammo!? I guess i could look it up but i'm too lazy i guess. Thx!

    Olympic coverage/Rio 2016

    Look You and i are on the same boat, as are most fans here on the laser forum, i would say. Read my other posts on my my opinion of no commentary and the reasons why. I love it. And yeah, today's laser was race 8, i think? Someone said they are not broadcasting all of the races but i think...

    Olympic coverage/Rio 2016

    Well, the tv stations are all getting the same feed from OBS, but that just means we get the same camera angles. You could still try the masking ip trick. It'd be neat to watch bbc's coverage online. I had to do that for 2012 so i could watch the closing ceremonies when it really was live, not...

    Olympic coverage/Rio 2016

    LaserBill, I have been watching the Olympics constantly, live streams and full replays, as much as i want so i don't know where this talk of a 30 minute subscription is coming from. Some airport wifi's have 30 minute timeouts so you just have to reload their wifi every 30 mins, which is a...

    Olympic coverage/Rio 2016

    No way, i love having no commentary! And as far as connection issues on all of my other devices, (i.e. tablet, iphone, desktop) it sucks but i have use of an Acer ChromeBook and it's amazing! It may buffer once every 10 minutes & i can live with that.

    Olympic coverage/Rio 2016

    I've been watching on nbcolympics.com, the coverage is fantastic! If i miss the live stream i can immediately go back and watch the full replay. And the best part is there is no commentary so i don't have to listen to that idiot meredith vierra tell me how to think! And don't get me wrong, i'm...

    Olympic coverage/Rio 2016

    Ok, i know beggars can't be choosers and i'm grateful that nbc has the live stream and replays so i can watch what i can on my computer (because, you know, nbc doesn't deem sailing a real Olympic sport) but you can't tell me there isn't a live stream of all the races somewhere? There were 12...

    Long distance Laser sailing

    Thanks for the link and i'm always interested in kooky things like sailing lasers around islands or down the Eastern Seaboard or some jazz like that but around the Isle of Wight? That's just stupid. I mean, if you're wanna go extreme and laser sail an island, why not a small one in the Bahamas...

    Long distance Laser sailing

    Th That's the coolest shit I ever heard of! I'm a little confused, though, so please bear with me. This was done in a canal, yes? Was it canal the whole way or mostly a river with sections of the river a canal? And what do you mean a level drop? you went in and they drained the water, yes...

    Dodgy lasers

    LaLi that ad was riddled with red flags. This new one seems to be on the up and up, he replied back with pics and said it is a 1979 model. I may go look at it, but that's a bit old for what i'm looking for.

    Dodgy lasers

    Hi ladies & gents, I'm a new sailor and looking to buy a laser and have found a couple on craigs list but there seem to be some red flags. Maybe i'm being too cautious. The 1st one is for $250, but with no sails or rigging. It has pics but they were all taken at night! If you are trying to...

    Thank you. And by the way Torrid, yes that was the same and correct ad you found that i did. I'd still appreciate any further replies from anyone.

    Laser Sportsman

    Yep, that's it! And that's what i said, seemed to be some red flags, although i didn't know enough about it to know that pic was of a radial. I had asked for the serial number and some pics, and here's what he sent. Red flags, yes, but i'm wondering if he just doesn't know what he has and...

    He's got a picture. I was looking for something a little more substantial. Anybody else?
