I should clarify... Pinched only long enough to see if I could point as high, then fell off until I regained good flow across the sail. Didn't keep pinching. That was the thing, just couldn't point. Oh well, he has his boat tuned to race hard - I don't. I have a 30' Pearson Flyer and...

I guess the Portsmouth information answers my question - thanks... I should have been faster. The Sunfish guy I was racing against is a custom yacht builder / performance mod pro / marine surveyor and he has been killing it in the local Sunfish class. He definitely was out-pointing me...

Had some good play racing on the river yesterday - stayed out for hours and the the breeze varied from 4-12 knots. I always thought a Laser would kill a Sunfish in just about any condition, but I guess that was a misconception. Got my butt kicked by a very good, very experienced, Sunfish...

Re: Just Bought a Laser 2 Have a Question I've had a couple of Lasers and I recently restored an old Laser 2. My experience was just the opposite of yours - My (1979) Laser 2's deck is solid as a rock and my Laser is the soft one. I guess it varies from boat to boat. Sailed my Laser 2 for...
