This was the epoxy I was planning on using, wondering if any fiberglassing experts have other/better ideas?
Also I suppose it’s relevant to reaffirm that the centerline and edges of the cockpit floor are still solid, it’s purely the centers of the two nonskid areas towards the rear that have significant wear, and a bit on the deck right on the side near there.
I had a similar developing issue on my previous 86 laser, however the travel lift ran that one over before I got to repairing it . Based on the wear on the sides of the deck and the cockpit floor, it seems the previous owner sat very far back in the cockpit, which is interesting because it was...
I just bought a 1991 laser a few weeks ago with a lot of nice accessories and felt I got the whole package for a good deal, however, the cockpit floor is soft. It didn’t seem too bad to me until I actually got it wet and realized how much it flexed under pressure. The deck of the boat, gunnel...
You got a really good deal than, although, I would venture to say you will need to replace your rigging if you intend to race in any capacity, probably worth something to someone though. To my understanding, the older Performance Sailcraft boats are closer to that range. Although, they where...
Nothing ugly, just some chips at the bow, and some stress crack repairs in the gunnels. Boat leaked until plug gasket was changed at the end of this season. Has one developing soft area (very mild right now) in the front starboard floor of the cockpit. Obviously, like most boats this age, it's...
By this I mean a hull with no soft spots. Classic hardware, new/recently purchased sails. Here in New York there are a few of these boats, my last one was owned by someone who only raced it once a year at a regatta at their club. It was a 1986 Laser International build. Sail new in 2016. What...
The main reason why I am asking is I find myself in a position where, after the boat attained some critical damage, I am looking to replace it with a similar example. My question is, what is market value for a good condition late 80s- early 90s laser with like new sails and a nice hull.
I have a 1986 Laser with stiff decks and pristine sails with complete rigging that I find myself needing to put a price on. What is a fair price for a package like this (Opti Parts and ACME tiller, New Boom vang, Autobailer and mainsheet. Ext.).
In other words, what would a similar boat run me...
I have won Opti and O'pen Bic regattas (10 years ago) and am skilled in sailing many double-handed racing boats. My experience in the laser is limited, but I am not a novice.
That is definitely the core of my plan. I am also looking to sand the bottom of the boat to get rid of some gel-coat spider cracking and improve performance. Will this impact the boat negatively on the rack over the winter?
2 months ago I bought this Laser Hull in Brick, NJ for $225. It has proven to be an amazing way to get out on the water with the laser fleet cheap. Only takes on about a gallon of water after 2 hours of 20+ knot wind sailing. Deck is solid but has one depression by the downhaul cleat. After...
