Hey, guys so I completely waterlogged the bow of my sunfish. I left the plugin and water leaked into the front part of the hull. I plan to drill an inspection port in the front of it to drain it. Should I start looking for a new one? I've heard you can never get it back to its original weight...

Hey guys, I know that this is definitely not the best place to ask for advice for this topic. But I just wanted to see if anyone has had similar experiences with dinghy sailing after an ACL reconstruction. I’m supposed to be having surgery on April 3rd, and I am trying to see if I’m going to be...

There are probably over 60 lasers at the club (member-owned) and only a few get used, its sad!

Well, I'v only been there since June haha so I don't want to overstep. The people at the club are pretty old fashioned and traditional too, they probably would have to have a "meeting", then another "voting meeting" ect... everything is a long process haha

hahaha that would be amazing if they'd do that!

Hmmm yeah that’s true, we have a club laser that’s a radial which is more convenient not sure if anyone at my club even has a 4.7. I just don’t want to buy something and then not be able to compete with it.

Well iv only been sailing for about 2/3 months now. Iv been sailing 3-4 times a week though since I started pretty rigorously. I have experience on a snipe, thistle, y-flyer, 420, and sunfish. That’s a good idea. I don’t scare easily haha!

We are having one on Labor Day as well at AYC if anyone from Augusta would want to come.

Thanks!!! Yeah I’m definitely down to travel and will try to make those for sure. Time to start marking my calendar haha. Also this is probably a stupid question but can laser radials compete with regular lasers?

Oh awesome! I think I can come to the October one, I’ll definitely reach out for that, I’ll also be down there on the 7th if y’all are doing anything then.

Actually my sister lives in Augusta, and I would love to come down sometime, I’m working on trying to get a trailer soon... do you guys have a page on FB or anything that I could join?

Thanks Jason! When you say don’t waste your time with a 4.7 do you think a radial as well? One of the other reasons I wanted the radial is because the mast on a normal laser is so heavy I don’t think I can put it up myself, and I want to start sailing during the week and practicing by myself.

Do you think the radial would be best for competing over the 4.7, I see that many people are saying I should start with a 4.7?

Hmmm ok, I just thought the radial could be better to practice in since we have low wind often 3-5 knots.

I actually emailed Rob At LLSC if that’s Who you are referring to and have not heard back yet. I go to AYC and only know a few people who are racing them and they are mainly juniors. I’ll try emailing them tho!

Yeah that would be great thanks, I’ll check that out, that’s not too far from me.

Thanks for the response Rob, not sure why I didn’t get these notifications. Iv asked LLSC but they said the fleet isn’t very active either I will check out those other places tho thanks!

Hey guys, I am relatively new to this forum. I graduated from college a year ago and have picked up sailing as a new sport, and I absolutely love it. Since I am no longer in college or able to be apart of any college team, I have had a hard time finding a young community of people interested in...

thanks guys! I'll be working on the sunfish this week, then the other boat!

I read your article too, and am thinking about getting the dwalt tool and cutting it with that possibly
