One of the tires and inner tubes on my dynamic dolly bit the dust. I was looking at replacements and the price seems pretty crazy. Can someone point me to the tire and inner tube that they have used to replace it? The price of a tire and tube is almost the same price as the entire wheel assembly.

A few months ago, one of my shrouds failed and boom. I have successfully repaired it and she looks great. One problem I have is that I forgot how to rig up the jib with the furler. Currently the furler line is all the way out, what are the rigging steps to fix the furler so it works. Also...

This weekend I had two of my Sea Scouts sailing my 1985 mod 1 C14.2. It was blowing and the shroud failed..... Thankfully nobody was hurt and the damage wasn't worse. Look likes I just need to replace the mast step, shrouds, and mast pivot bolt.

After each day of racing my son's laser would end up with about a quart of water in the hull. We finally think we tracked it down. The bubble test showed bubble at the top of the mast cup right at the seam between the deck and the cup on one side. not a huge leak but we want to take care of...

OK, so I got a Baby Bob and I didn't realize how big it is. Is it really worth it?

My new to me Capri doesn't have hiking straps. I ordered a set which should so up soon. But I don't have any hiking bails to attach them. They are back ordered and will appear someday. Has anyone attached them with line instead? I figure I can use line to attach them while I wait for the...

The boat I bought has no hiking straps, so I purchased a set of those. The boat doesn't have hiking bails and Catalina direct says they are backordered for at least 12 weeks. Has anyone used line to attach the straps? I figured that would work while I wait for the shackles to show up.

I just bought a 1985 Capri 14.2. It is missing hiking straps and a bungee for the centerboard. So I ordered those online. The sails are original, so I should probably look into replacing those. I do like the colors of the current ones though. The jib is a roller furler, which I don't know...

I posted this in the Laser forum, but usefull for my Sunfish too. Basically interchangeable now since it just depends on which dolly I pull onto the trailer. I Well, I have a Laser and Sunfish, actually 2 of each. My son is getting into racing it which means we will be traveling with it over...

Well, I have a Laser and Sunfish, actually 2 of each. My son is getting into racing it which means we will be traveling with it over distances. Since we have dollies for each, I was looking at the Right On trailer but those are not in stock for a while. So I went to the drawing board with my...

One of our scouts accidentally drove a capri 14.2 on a trailer into a tree on the ramp. Causing major damage. We are looking for advice of how to properly make the repairs. We have some experience with boat repairs, this will be the biggest one for us. Problem #1: Hull breach on bottom of...

Anyone here have the Right On trailer? What is your opinion on it? Can you take a couple of pictures and measurements for me?

I have a single boat trailer I use for my Sunfish and Laser. I was wondering if you think I should make a changes to make the trailer work better for the boats. I do want to swap out the carpeting to marine carpet. Is there a better way for the bow vs. a standard bow stop? I don't want to go...

Today, I got a laser for a deal I couldn't refuse. My plan is to make this a recreation laser for days when I just want to sail around. The hull ID is PSL691401078 and is old and was sitting in someone's backyard. It needs some work, I am hoping not too much. The cockpit floor seems to be...

My son finished sailing practice today and our 1974 Laser hull had a 1.5' split in the deck of the cockpit and it seems that the bottom of the cockpit is delaminated and isn't looking good. So, we are in the position of either purchasing another Laser or fixing this hull. We are leaning to...

OK, we just re gelcoated our hull and want to keep it nice. Our lake shoreline is very rocky, for rigging and beaching has anyone experimented with outdoor carpet of a pad of some kind to protect the hull?

We got 4 "new" hulls for my Sea Scouts to fix up. These are in interesting condition. They will learn fiberglass work, fairing, painting, and coaming repair. They will also learn to build new daggerboards, rudders, and tillers. now, we need to start searching for sunfish parts to complete the...

We inherited some more beat up hulls for our Sea Scout ship. All have holes, some of which I can put my hand through. Anyway, I will be needing replacement coamings and rudder heads/cheeks. Has anyone tried to 3D print these? The coamings aren't structural but are big so would need to be...

I need to buy a laser dolly. Any impressions of the windesign dolly?

We are almost done with the restoration of the vanguard sunfish hull that had major holes in it. We had to pull the rubber rail on the deck seam off, but I have never seen a rub rail like it before. Is this something someone added on as an aftermarket add-on or was it a factory thing? I am...
