hey, I am very happy I just bought a Laser after 22 years.
I used to sail regattas and for many reasons we couldnt afford anymore the boats and the club.
I was 15....now I am 37 and I saw in a website a 1982 laser for USD800...standard rigging. I checked the hull and its firm....no soft places... so I bought it.
I believe there is a lick from the top...so I will rescrew everything. Should I use silicon?
Also the lines and blocks are not only old but everything looks a bit improvised.
I dont want to compete... just have fun... but some people in the club were very positive abt it... others made comments like "you cannot sail with that, you have to change everything".
That made me sad... but off course I want to upgrade somethings.... I know laser is a conpetition boat and competition oriented.....anyway... guess I am just looking for some support.
The little laser sails nicely. In the picture I couldnt figure out the lines I had so I know the cuningghan is incorrect...as the outhull. Today I will rigg it like in the 90s... because it looks like what I have is from those times....
The sails and number are original... they are even stamped with the 1980 Swiss Championship.... I dont think was a bad deal.... Need to make some fixing though... what do you think?
