I saw somewhere on laserforum that said if your plugs on your spars are black, then the spars are not class legal. Is that correct?

Not necessarily.
Depending on which builder sold the spars, there have been white, black, and blue plugs/caps.

I am the second owner of my boat. There isnt a sticker laser sticker on any of the spars. How else can i tell if theyre legal or not?

stickers aren't required either... Spars can be kinda tricky if you don't truly know if they're legal or not.

I am the second owner of my boat. The first owner was a serious racer in class sponsored events. My spars have black plugs and hardware, and I promise you they are class legal. I'd not worry about yours at all.

How old are the spars? Knock-off spars didn't even exist until a few years ago.

Spars from different regions can have different coloured plugs/caps.

My boat is a 1979... Im pretty sure they are original because of the gooseneck... It is a different style then the new spars
I had a boat from the mid 90s and then one from the mid 80s. Both had black spars caps. at least in NA, they then went to blue and then back to black
A similar topic came up recently on this Forum:

Perhaps more importantly, don't worry, just go sailing. On a boat that old, nobody is going to worry about the legality of your spars.

Just got a new boom a few weeks ago and I believe it has black plugs, your boom should have a class sticker from the factory showing that its a class boom, the color of the plugs definitely doesn't effect the performance in any way
