All, I just opened a new website to deal with some of the issues behind chartering at large regattas. While running and participating in regattas, I noticed that there is always a problem with finding enough boats for entrants. Many of the locals are asked to donate use of their personal boat...

What container do you use when you travel with your gear? Do you have one that fits your daggerboard, rudder, and your tiller? thanks, Ralph

I hate to post something this negative but I do not want anyone else to get stuck the way that we did. Eclipse Trophy, known for its sailing trophies and plaques, should probably be avoided if you actually want to buy trophies in a timely manner. To give some background, I contacted as many...

I just received my new Laser Sailor magazine. For those of you that are not Laser class members, this quarterly magazine alone is worth the cost of membership. This issue has an article about downwind sailing that is excellent. It left me hungry for more information. Brett Davis refers to...

Watch these cats doing a pitch pole around the course: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/218548

Slow to load but well worth it. If you don't feel like getting out on the water after this video, then there is something wrong with you. http://www.sailingscuttlebutt.com/media/06/0501/ Ralph

What do you call the shirt worn over the lifevest? Is it a large rash guard? Is there a special supplier? :confused: I see them on the course and could really use one. My lifevest straps keep catching on the mainsheet and boom. Thank you

I just found this link. Maybe some of you have seen it already. It is another homemade innovation for a launching dolly made from PVC. Check it out: http://www.floatingbear.ca/LaunchingDolly.htm

This is one of the best sailing pictures I have ever seen. http://www.stfyc.com/Default.aspx?p=.NETCEEditorPFSTC&NoNav=1&ID=441653&bhcp=1 for more 470 World pictures: http://www.stfyc.com/Default.aspx?bhcp=1

Hello all, I am new to Lasers and I am just wondering about your opinion on something. The youth seem to be in command of the tops spots in the fleet. I am learning that a Laser is a very physically demanding boat, but after years of sailing one it would seem like skill would win out over...

A Santana tried to learn to surf like a Laser, but the results were a little bit more dramatic. Check this out: photos: http://sfsurvey.com/photos/ slideshow: http://www.sfsurvey.com/photos/sailH/imagepages/image1.htm

I am looking for a Laser Coach that could help me to improve. I am a Master sailor but learn very quickly. Being determined and possessing a good work ethic, helps me to be the perfect student. Has anyone been to a SailCoach Seminar, Rick White's Seminars, or SailFit Sailing Seminar? Any other...

Does anyone know the supplier of the clevis that is used as a connector on the clew for the outhaul? I saw several competitors at the regatta in S.F., CA. this weekend with a clevis for a connector. It wasn't the hook-type like I currently have installed. Who makes it? Ronstan? Harken? Thank you.

I would love to attend a sailing clinic or school for Lasers. Has anyone attended any that they would recommend? Examples of some that I have looked at are the Laser Training Center in Cabarete, Dominican Republic and Rick White's sailing seminars in the Florida Keys. Any suggestions? Are there...

Okay I have a silly question... I am talking to someone who has a laser for sale, but they don't know anything about lasers. I need to know on sight if it is a standard rig or not. What are the dimensions of a standard sail ( as opposed to 4.7 or radial)? I realize that the standard sail is 76...

I am new to dinghy sailing, but I have been certified for keelboats up through Bareboat Cert. What my question to the group is is what would be the best laser to start with? Would an old boat be okay as long as it was retrofit with all of the new goodies or should I save my money and buy a new...
