Hi all, recently got a nice second hand Laser and previously used 2 wide brackets with wide webbing straps to support a sunfish on her hull in two places, aft of midship and just aft of bow. It seems that from all that I have read it is advisable to store a laser on support posts under the side rails. I don’t have enough width in my storage location to keep her on the slip trolley (with the supports). What I haven’t found is what terrible things will happen by using the existing slings? Will be simple enough to make brackets that would emulate the slip trolley support struts, but I’m curious!
My experience is that I've stored my Laser (#555) for 10 years or so, year round, on my dolly with no discernable harm. The majority of the boat's weight is on the single strap.
Anyone used one of these, not for storage but launching. Would need some padding modification. They made one with a strap but it appears to be unavailable
