Wonder if this was in the works before or was due to them not fully supporting the laser 2024 Olympic equipment revaluation? The laser class really needs LP’s cooperation to make sure the laser stays as an Olympic boat. Would be great if they can still pull through without LP. Good riddance.

How about some sunfish cufflinks and the cigerarette lighter for $5.50

It was enough rain to fully fill the mast step, when I first saw it it was filled to the brim but had begun to melt and a single piece of ice was left in the center surrounded by water. Last night i drained out the ice and covered up the hole with tape. It's going back into the shop to do some...

A sunfish I have was moved from a garage to outside on it's trailer. The mast step filled with water in a rainstorm and subsequently froze with some colder weather we had move through. It's warmer today so i'm going to go drain it and cover the hole, but my question is does this automatically...

Well I"m turning 18 tomorrow (the 19th). For a birthday present i ordered a new red and white sunfish sail and i had a window put in it at work (sturgis is also a north sails loft) My parents obviously helped me out but I'm pretty excited to get this sail because it will be the first new sail i...

Cape Cod. There is a pretty active sunfish fleet at a local lake here, infact the worlds have been held here a couple time in the past years, once at that lake (lake wequaquet) and once at hyannis (the day after i got my sunfish. Unfortunately i didn't know until the day after so i missed out on...

You guys should seriously consider having a spin and buff again, it is a great idea. Maybe once a year have this open house week? Plus it is a good way to clear out all the extra stuff around the factory.

Well i know that there are a lot of races, but im talking about non competitive gatherings, or not as competitive races just to have fun and meet some other sunfish gurus.

Manual vs. automatic for towing is just about even, it is just a matter of preference. This is of course unless you are towing 20,000lbs+ in which case a manual is far superior, hence why 18-wheelers are un-synchronized manual trannys.

The only info id ever really found was this (http://www.bertram31.com/proj/tips/re-gelcoating.htm) and it was helpful but it didn't go into enough detail for me. It just seems like all the posts and articles Ive read have different advice on different ways of spraying gel coat, different...

Is gelcoat painting/spraying affected by temperature? becuase rite now i cant paint until the temp is above 50, which it wont be until at least march/april? What is involved in gelcoating, arnt there multiple layers under the color, or is is simply buying the color gelcoat i want and mixing it...

Hey everyone!, I finally picked up a copy of the sunfish bible and it got here about 2 weeks ago, man id wish i got this earlier, what a great book. Anyway i was reading about the Connecticut river (race/outing?) and i thought that it sounded like a lot of fun. Id love to be able to...

Wow, i knew i should have brought my boat down, and i remember seeing your boat at the shine and buff area when i was up their yesterday. It was a cool tour, Ive been in the warehouse many times but i have never been in the factory. it was pretty cool. And a $109 magic Marine life jacket for...

I've been to the factory numerous times for work but I'm going up with a couple buddies this Saturday. Do i need to call ahead? are the tours running all day? what else is going on?

Im sailing the Dark And Stormy III, how do i join the group?

Gel coating is starting to look a little better. But i still cant find good clear instructions of the whole process online, and suggestions? Would i only need a compressor and a paint gun?

How does one paint the bottom with gelcoat? I've never heard of a way to apply it, it seemed like it could only be done in the factory and i could never find a way of doing it by yourself. Is it shot through a gun? How could i go by doing it? Ive done some small gelcoat repairs where you mix it...

OK, I patched the boat up and I am done prepping it. It seemed the more time I spent working on it id find more areas that needed work. The boat is now ready for the next step: Paint. I already have a paint scheme in mind; I always liked the red lasers that vanguard made around 2004. So that...

They are more expensive in the uk? All i know is that when they started shipping them over the prices went up.

For the record, ever since laserperformance bought out vanguard, they have all the sails for lasers shipped from overseas, same with some other parts and i believe some spars. All the laser sails i picked up from the factory in Newport this year still had the shipping tags that said they came...
