wow.....i thought i had a project with mine. but you got one rigged for a spinnaker which is cool. if i was you id cut a port in the forward cockpit bulkhead if here isnt one already and check that mast step. they like to rot. the way they are assembled is a mess inside. and look at the plywood bulkheads around it. it seems the screws for the step dont both catch the piece of hardwood inside and one can strip easily. the rear area under the aft deck should have a flotation jug in it. there should be one in the forward deck area too. theyre like 5 gal or something like that. basically a large plastic milk jug. check the seam for the dagger trunk too. check the deck to hull seam. it should be solid with no gaps. it looks like you have one of the later stainless anderson type bailers which is nice.
ill beat @LaLi to the punch. post up your boat number. haha. it doesnt matter so much. do you have the orange and yellow sails?
oh....theres an additive for the deck paint. its like rubber pellets for that kind of non skid. theres a bunch of different kinds. i wouldnt use sand style griptape. that will be hell on youre skin, lines and sails.
HahaI won't say anything about the paint job, except that it looks like there's already one extra whitish layer on top of the original ivory gelcoat. I'm not sure exactly when PSA dropped that latter colour, but that boat surely is about 40 years old.
But I see you have the first surviving L2 spinnaker bag seen in a long timeCould you take and post its measurements, as it would be really nice to be able to make some new ones
Are there many Laser 2s in Australia anyway? That's where it's from, but I've understood that it never gained much popularity on its home ground.

Not random at all! That's how PSA (the Australian builder) did it. The different "long" codes are a North American and European (since 1998) thing. So yes, that is your sail number, and the boat was built in early 1981.I tried to find the hull number and i found a very random one at the back (1727). Not much to do with that because I understand the number code that is possible to decode is a long with with number and letters.
