Hi, new to the forum. I have bought an old (1980s?) Laser and the first trip didn't turn out very well which was kind of expected considering the price tag. Firstly, the fitting for the bailer plug came loose and water leaked into the boat. How do I fix this? Seems like a problematic construction?
Secondly, the fairlead as seen in the picture failed. Is this the original mounting do you think? Just screwed in the hull. I am unsure about how to fix this as there is no space to put a nut and washer beneath (in addition to the fairly long arms needed). Any advice?
