Hi,
Looking at picking up a Laser from a friend of mine. He recently acquired it from one of his friends families and used it this summer. People he bought it from bought it new he thinks in the mid-90s and hadnt used it much lately but it was stored on a rack for the 4 years previous to him buying it. (They had a few I think)
Anyways its got a tealish looking bottom in ok shape, some scratches and what looks to be some cracking/spiderwebbing in just a few spots I would say is typical of a used boat. Would shine up very well I think with a little elbow grease.
Overall it presents well. Hull is kinda soft, not real soft but not stiff either. Where you sit on deck is quite stiff... The mast step section has been replaced with what looks to be a quality new square section fitted (looks well done and recent)
Could not find the serial # on the rear anywhere. After coming home and reading more some are on the nose? We looked all over and didnt find anything...
He had never drained the hull from sailing it this summer and when I opened the rear plug water came out...is this a really bad sign? We couldnt see where any water would come in but who knows how long its been in there. Thoughts?
I was going to try and find out some more info on the serial number and we were going to weigh it this weekend...
Centerboard is wood and original, ok shape
Rudder, brand new
Fittings/lines - all working, some new/replaced. its ready to sail.
Tiller, ok - totally functional
Boom/Mast - great shape, no corrosion
Haarstick Sail - comes with 1 sail, has a rip by the batton but could be taped pretty easily and used without worries...
No trailer/dolly. Comes with tyvek cover for deck...I would be cartopping it.
Asking price is a bit under 1k...and Im very picky so I prob nitpicked it more than some would but wanted to see what you guys think. Forgot to take a camera, maybe this weekend when we head back up there. This would be for fun sailing mainly, Id like to race it but Im pretty busy and for now this would at least get me back sailing when time allows.
Thanks,
Sam
