Not sure of any others. The best Laser I have seen was a Laser that had a gold hull. This was as supplied and had a mettalic gold finish under the clear gelcoat. I sold on Ebay about a year ago and looked amazing. It was around a 135,000 vintage.
Theres a laser at a yacht club by me with the blue hull and these boxy flower looking pattern that hasnt sailed in probably a good 3-4 years. Its been in the same spot way for so long a bush is growing around it, the tires are flat and disinegrate if you touch them, the airtanks are full of bugs and the inside has some weird looking ants. It has a cover which is saving it from the snow and heat but its a shame. Everytime I race there i cant help to walk back there and just stare it for a few minutes.
Its funny he mentions the graffiti one because someone told me that there were only 2 or 3 of them ever made and they were design prototypes for the Atlanta Games that were not selected as the final design (the flower one was, mentioned above).
If you found one of those that is a very special Laser, especially if it is in good condition
What year were the black magic ones made?
Ive seen one of these for sail about 6 months ago in the UK, why a prototype and one of only a small handful made for the US Games would be in Britain................
I have noticed there is some sort of affiliation between Black Magic Lasers in the UK
Do special edtions hold there value/worth more than just standard lasers?
Infact just found this http://www.apolloduck.co.uk/display.phtml?aid=156445 Graffiti Edition In Somerset
"Rosso" and "Bianco" were, if I remember it right, just the names for red- and white-coloured hulls built by PSE in the early 1990s.- Laser Rosso
- Laser Savannah
- Also potentially another one called laser Camargue?
I now remember that, too. Came in navy/green as well. Late 1980s/early '90s?Found one more "Accent"
I believe yours was a standard Sunfish Laser colour in that year. They came in blue as well, and as I said in the other thread, they were used at the 1995 Youth Worlds in Bermuda - the girls sailed yellow boats and the guys blue ones.I think I have a Graffiti Laser. It is a 1995 and in excellent shape. Is it a special edition? Anyone have any info on it?

Either way I am interested in hearing about and seeing more special edition Lasers!
I don't, but you seem to have quite a few... that is, your boat IS a "Graffiti" model, it's just that I was under the (possibly wrong) impression that it wasn't intended as a "special edition".Do you have a picture of the Graffiti laser? I am interested in tracking down a special edition boat of some sort.
What are the numbers of those boats, and who built the "Savannah"?Just so happen to find 2 specials at my sailing club.
If you want to find out more, take and post pictures of the stickers on the back wall of the cockpits, and possible embossed numbers or codes on the transom or under the bow fitting. The Bianco should be PSE-built with a number probably in the 145000-150000 range. The Savannah is a late 1995 boat, and obviously not built by Sunfish Laser like the red and blue "Centennial Olympics" boats. I am not aware of PSE offering them either, and as you're in Malaysia it's not far-fetched that it came from Australia or New Zealand.The Savannah is numbered 158021.
Don't have the Bianco's number
I found one last weekend at a local club that I rarely go to. And I have to admit I was wrong about the 1995ish Sunfish Laser -built boats being the "Graffiti" ones! This was a basic ("dawn") grey PSE boat with only the purple-and-blue text "Graffiti" on the topsides near the transom and next to the centreboard case making it "special" in any way. The number was 145xxx and the bottom was very soft. Didn't have a camera with me.Still need to find a Graffiti one..
