Awesome info thank you!

Thank you! Interesting that a second screw is the difference between legal and illegal! For the tiller length is that “1m” measured as total length, or from the front edge of the rudder head? This one is about the same size as the wooden original - 90cm. If I decide I want longer, a 4ft tube...

I posted earlier about needing to find a cost effective tiller replacement for my well-loved Laser. The cheapest someone here found online was about $60 for a wooden tiller and I found a Gorilla stick with tiller for $125. My solution came from Ace Hardware…a 3ft length of 1inch square...

Actually I wouldn’t so much say I’m trying to upgrade…just trying to sail and reduce the chances of avoidable accidents!

Lol…I’m a Brit, learned to sail (and then teach) the RYA way…sailing without a rudder…not my favorite thing, and I would swear for sure, but real real sailors can do it without a rudder. At the highest levels you learn the hidden knowledge…sailing without a boat.

I will do that too…thank you!

Thank you !

I bought my laser very used. It looks as though someone let their dog chew on the tiller (not the extension) and I’d like to get a replacement. Trouble is the cheapest option I found was for a tiller plus extension from Gorilla for close to $135+. Can anyone recommend an online store or do you...

Thank you. You have a keen, but nothing to worry about in this case. Those “terrible” cracks below the mast step are actually something that fell from a tree - that stuff is everywhere. Cheers!

I just got a couple of old but very cheap laser hulls. First time boat owner, long time sailer. I have 2 areas that I am not sure if I should leave or if I should sand down and apply new gelcoat? I’d appreciate any thoughts! Cheers!
