Well.... :rolleyes: I inflated the aft deck, with a beach ball (actually my wife's Pilates ball she lent me), to the correct alignment. After doing so found that structural defect. The starboard portion of the deck had become delaminated. A couple of small repairs in the past appears to have...

Or possibly sat on a sawhorse upside down using incorrect support. In the wrong place.

I'm getting pretty excited about this project. I'll be on the water soon. Yesterday in the afternoon sun: This is going to be a fast boat.

Several people have asked about deck sag. Pictured here is the rear of my project: Internally; the deck lacks support................ or does it? Here is the inside: After shoving the flotation around to get clean pictures. It occurred to me that the flotation bag itself once provided a...

The cockpit was completely de-laminated. I cut around the hole. Following the cracks outward until their ends. I cut a hole that looked like a baseball home plate. First patching the subfloor. I then used the hole to pour in GFlex. Tilting the boat and letting the GFlex flow. I used ax wedges to...

I've been spending a lot of time looking at the insides of these Lasers lately. In your case here: you will probably need an inspection port eventually. It would help in drying out the boat (and to keep it dry). You would end up removing less "chunk". And work from the inside out. An epoxy like...

One damaged hole. And 70% de-lamination The straps seem ok. So you wonder how many seasons/years it went through with water in the cockpit.

G-Flex is great stuff. I should have bought the gallon. I finished the hull/deck using another half quart. I was pretty happy with the gunnel finger rail all the way around. It took about 4 applications and block sanding down to 220 grit. the finished product: The next step was to flip over...

Look below at page 11, part 41 of the Laser 2 manual. It indicates a rudder spring clip that should have been standard on the rudder itself. Maybe they removed the clip, filled and painted over the holes. I would look closely. As far as softness. Here's an upside down picture of what's...

G-Flex......... it all seems so simple. The bow, several feet from the bow, and one rear corner were fine. The gap thin and old material still working. I kept removing the old material from midship and rear around one corner. Then I would walk away and let it dry or cure. Then I would take...

That's a great memory. Better than mine! ;) I hunted down the owners manual. No blue hulls. Just the yellow, white, and orange. It looks like the Yellow,"gold",orange, and white sails are pictured on both yellow and burnt orange hulls. I'm guessing that the white sail is the "standard option"...

Hi LaLi, I believe it is a early 80's model. 1982. The boat still had it's original brochure. Which indicated for this year; there was this burnt orange as well as a deep blue. He is a picture of one for sale down under. With it's original matching sail: A little dressed up. The "for sale"...

My first post. Thank you for all the helpful advice gleaned from these threads. This Laser 2 had been sitting, topside up, in somebody's North Carolina back yard for years. The remnants of a covering, tattered. The drain of the cockpit clogged as the owner got old and sick. And several winters...
