    Group distance sail

    The right place would have decent winds, and a good place to put the boat in and take out. Timing to run with the currents would be essential, but real doable. I know of places to put in or out Niantic, groton, mytic and stonington. It makes sense to go from east to west in that part...

    Hull bottom repair near centerboard-delam issue

    My 78 laser has cracking in the hull bottom, likely caused in the past by a sailing club that let the boat sit on it's bottom on a hard surface (a guess on my part).

    Clydesdale in a Laser

    Re: Clydesdale in a Laser-The more the Merrier My record is 5 people on the laster while in high school. I actual fell off the back because it was so cramped during a tack. Three adults in 5 foot waves after a tropical storm was awsome, the waves crashing over the deck did sweep my...

    Mast Step Reinforcement Needed?

    I just bought an older laser which sat upright on a trailer for 8 years. Well, you guessed it, the cockpit drained plugged up with stuff, the cockpit fills to the breather hole in the hull, and about 25 gallons of water was resting comfortably within the hull over the years. Good news, the...
