An interesting article. I would like to see a video of how our boat is manufactured. For example, a "How it's Made " episode. I love that show. Such a thing might answer a lot of people's questions and help with maintenance/repairs.

A muffler shop could probably bend it just right. They bend steel pipe all of the time.

You might consider drilling a hole through one of the shafts so that you could insert a pin or keeper of some kind below the gudgeon. My Laser came with one and I use it as cheap insurance. Hard to drill stainless though.

I had the exact same problem with my tiller scratching up the aft deck..I epoxied a couple of stainless washers onto the pins of the rudder that go through the gudgeon so as to raise the whole rudder assembly up just a bit..Has worked great for two years now..

Chris I used the method described in this link that I found in one of governail's postings. http://www.schrothfiberglass.com/LaserMaint.htm It worked fine for me but I had to do it three or four times to get it to a point that satisfied me..My board had both a full length bend (slight) and a...

Greetings all, Recently I purchased a new sail to replace my old bagged out sail..The old sail is still good enough for a practice sail..Someone told me that my old soft sail would perform better in light winds than my new one because it would shape out better with less effort..Is this...

Hi folks, I think that building a duplicate of a Laser yourself is a wonderful idea..You wouldn't do it to save money on a boat however..My 18 foot cedar strip canoe cost less than $400 (9 years ago)..I'm pretty confident a cedar strip Laser hull could be built for less than $1000 and weigh...

Hiya Pez,,,So you each stay on one side and don't move from side to side?

Sounds like bold stuff at 25 knots.I won't be doing that for awhile.

Thanks Paolo,I hadn't considered the realestate in front of the mast.

Greetings folks, I would like to take my adventurous girlfreind with me on my standard Laser but it seems as though it would be rather tricky. The thing is, I would prefer that she came back with the same number of teeth we set off with . I was thinking of making a tiller with an 18"...

Which is faster, a Force 5 or a Laser? Does the F5 have any technical advantages or disadvantages? I'm asking because eventually I will go up against by brother's F5 and I need to know how much to wager.
