Hi all,
I am a total newbie.. Bought my laser today... so please be gentle.
Juts bought a laser second hand today (from the buy-back recycling center). Looked good and had all the gear (sails, sheets etc).
Anyway, when I saw it was a laser, went online and did the usual reading / googling.
One surprise I found is that my boar has serial # 165 (on both the sail as well as the back hull) - See picture...
It seems this is pretty old (I read somewhere that they start at 100?).
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Have not taken it out on the water yet, but filled the hull with water and it did not show any leaks... Just reading up now on rigging etc... but will definitely need sailing lessons, so if anyone has recommendations for Sydney Australia, I am all ears...
Pierre
