...is it you??..Hey the guy in this ad (the one on the left) looks just like me. Could be my twin.
Will offer a reward 2 anyone who can tell me who it is.
ps. The reward may be less tangible then more traditional one's
...is it you??....what do I win?
...yeah after a day of sailing at the lake I frequent..I get "compliments" like ..."the bottom of your boat sure looks good".....ahh thanksNo it's not me (lol)
Will never ever ever be in an ad for Lasers. In fact people I know have decided not to buy a Laser after watching me sail.
Serious about the twin thing tho.
2. Well, to a certain degree, you're correct. Some would say that is the beauty of the internet. There's no reason to be unnecessarily nasty, but hey, stuff happens.
Stuff doesn't happen for long on TLF, and few of us care how much you can deadlift.
Shatty007, unpleasant anonymous posters are not welcome at TLF.
1. Glad it was a joke, but after the kerfuffle over the weight lifting program, it's hard to tell.
2. Anonymous posters often don't care what they say. They feel they can post with impunity because no one knows who they are. As long as an anonymous poster remains civil, there's no problem.

Is it me or does every topic recently seem to revolve around Shattys inflated sense of self worth.
You very opinionated mate, to the point of annoyance.
If you were in Aussie you would get told to pull your head in.
This is a forum for discussion about THE LASER SAILBOAT not a forum for how much you can press.
Anyway that’s my opinion hope it’s not 2 annoying.
Ps thanks for ruining yet another thread
......
Aussies are scary...
This forum is boring, slow moving and certainly uninformative most of the time
You read any of the topics I've helped people in? Probably not.
The sailing demographic sure is exciting...I'd hate to go to a party populated solely by TLF members.
PS: You're very welcome.
Whoever the mod is here: PLEASE BAN ME.
I'm sick of Merrily, who I believe is the mod, correct?. Go to humor school. You could definitely stand to pick up a few things.
Keep Shatty on the forum, he actually gives good advice.
Yea bey, he is actually help ya!!! some these other "experienced posters" like to say "search for it".... whats the point of a forum if you only going to search for something... LAST TIME I CHECKED THIS IS THE LASER FORUM, NOT GOOGLE!!!!!!

I regret posting this thread now....it has just turned into a giant mess.
...Using the forum as a reference really does work (I searched back recently when I was unsure about my traveller tension and found the answer from ages ago). Suggesting people search back rather than somebody spending their time typing in the same as they typed in last week and again 3 times the month before, etc. is, in my opinion, quite reasonable.

Blazer is Shatty007. Still banned.
Post some pictures of your Laser!
This is me sailing in Halifax Harbor last summer, lot of fun surfing the wake of the crash boat.
Thanks for posting these, hilarious, awesome shots...
Here are a few photos of my old '77 Laser just before a race last weekend at the Lake Lanier Sailing Club just north of Atlanta. I had just upgraded to the new vang and deck fittings. Now I have to learn how to adjust everything for the various conditions.
The set-up in the photo posted by dwb is quite unusual. Just go with a simple (ratchet) block. The Harken block you showed in another post is fine, IMHO.
But if you want to stimulate the economy, go ahead and buy another one
I've never seen a Laser with a cleat AT the main rachet block. On the side of the boat yes, but not right at the block. Is it legal?
For the record, I think the best place to put a mainsheet block is in your toolbox.
