I have a question about launching the laser at a public launch. I plan to use a fairly low use lake with about 8 launches, so I don't think there is a huge need for speed in terms of dumping the boat in the water to free up the dock for the next guy. I don't think there is a waiting line - I may be wrong. What is the general strategy for pre-rigging prior to dropping the boat in? The docks I plan to use are about 3-5 feet higher than the water.
It seems like It would be best to get the sail / mast all rigged up in the rigging area and then install the rudder dagger once the boat is all the way in the water before pulling the trailer out. My only concern would be the boom spinning freely around with the wind and becoming a hazard.
Any thoughts?
I will post some pics in the next day or two on my Laser. I am hoping to maiden this weekend.
Thanks as always!
