Hoping to find a budding or established young sailor for my very very lightly used 1993 Laser ILCA Grand Prix (147557) with foil bag, top and bottom canvas cover & Seitech Dolly.
Hull is still air-tight and everything is in very good condition.
2001 Vanguard Laser in excellent condition and has never leaked a drop of water. I'm the original owner since new and have been somewhat fanatical about taking care of my boat, polishing with McLube Hullkote, and storing it inside whenever possible. The hull side is free of dents or dings...
I am working on splicing laser rigging for a boat. I want to splice the primary onto the middle block and the upper harken wire block, but I've run into issues. In all of the Brummel lock splicing videos I have seen ( for example), the loop cannot be made around something because to create the...
Hello all, I am looking for some advice on how to repair what looks to be some minor damage to the top of a Laser deck. The top section of the mast broke above the collar and came down during a race, damaging the top layer of the deck. I have removed the damaged pieces and now have what you see...
Older hull but refurbished it last year and added all new parts, dolly and boat cover. We outfitted this boat for our local high school team but no longer need it. Would like to just recoup investment of parts to put back into the team funds.
includes a a full and radial setup with all...
I used to live in Santa Barbara and I was active in the Laser community. I moved to Atlanta, GA in July 2019 and thought I would try sailing Lasers here on Lake Lanier. I purchased a new Mark II, Full-Rig(ILCA 7) sail and sailed in one light-air regatta. I think my Laser sailing days are over...
Hello everyone, it’s been a minute since I last visited this forum and I hope y’all doing well
I remember couple of years ago we were full of leaks/teasers from PSA about brand new full carbon rig + laminated sails
If I remember correct it was the C3/C5 and finally C8 rigs. Though since then...
How does one go about resurfacing the older foam foils?
Recently started a project with an older Laser, the foam foils had been exposed to the elements for years, the rudder is in a fairly good condition given the exposure, but the daggerboard has cracks appearing on the surface.
The leading...
Hello I have recently boat a laser 2 and I have a couple questions.
1: The centerboard is really sticky that you have to use all your strength just to move it. I am just wondering if anyone else has this issue and if there is any way to fix it.
2: The deck is very flexy and if I should get a...
Hi All,
It had been around a month after I had noticed a bit of rust coming out of one of the screws of my control lines cleat on the deck...
So yesterday I finally had a day where I was not in a rush and could take my toolkit to the club and attempt to replace it.
I go there with my...
Hello everyone!
I recently purchased this 1979 (I was told it is a 1979) Laser and am going to be restoring it over the next couple of months. Below are some photos of the repairs that need to be done.
I had a few questions I was hoping to get answered:
- What paint and primer do you...
Lately, It has been pretty windy here in LA where I sail. Windy as in the wind is in the sustained 30 Kn range. I have been having trouble making the boat accelerate in those wind conditions with the swell (which is at 4-5 ft in height). Any tips to go upwind in that condition?

Circolo Vela Torbole cancelled the event, personally I still don't know the reasons but probably because of Covid-19 complications.
If you had any plans to come, then looks like you'll at least be saving some money!
When replacing a Laser vang tang does the Tef-Gel, anti corrosion paste, need to go between the whole tang and the lower mast section or only at the Rivets?
After replacing the tang with just Tef-Gel on the rivets and in the holes I cleaned the old tang. I noticed the old tang had some...
Hello all, I recently picked up an old laser (pretty sure it’s a 1979) from one of my fathers friends that wanted to get rid of it. Supposedly he hasent sailed for ever and it’s been garage kept at a cabin untouched for 20 something years. However it was kept on a standard small boat trailer...
Hi I am looking for wall strap storage solution so I can hang my laser on the wall of my garage for the winter. All the systems I have found so far seem to be for kayaks and do not seem to sturdy enough for the Laser.
Bought a "well-used" Laser, with serial number:
ZFS5375790576 ... others have ID'd "ZFS" as Les Voiliers Performance Inc. of Pointe Claire QC
Don't know the sail #, or the date of manufacture - assuming it's May of 1976?
The '0' next to the 5 is a 0, not a 'D' as best as I can make it out...
