It looks like I might be buying my first laser. I have sailed them previously at sailing camps when I was younger (probably around age 10) and I don't remember much other then they are a fun ride. I have a couple questions.
1. The boat is from 1980 and the owner says it has a "soft deck". What exactly does that mean? Can I expect to fall through hiking out sailing or the deck cracking if I car-top which is what I am hoping to do.
2. The isssue of car-topping. I checked my auto and it can handle 220lbs on the rack. I know how to secure it to my auto, but how far have others gone with a laser ontop of their roof? Any pointers for a long distance trip? The drive is going to be around 220 miles.
If I think of more concerns, I'll post them as well.
