Hi Folks,
I am brand new to this forum after being away from sailing for over 20 years. Good fortune brought me a traditionally rigged Laser to keep indefinitely for a friend, so now I have a few questions. I hope you all will bear with me through this reintroduction to this fine little sailboat, as I never was that proficient as a youngster. I appreciate all the information on this forum and may need a bit more time to master the search facility. In any case, I could not find an answer to the following question, which some will no doubt see as quite common sense. However, as with mosts sports, the common sense answer is not always the best answer, and so...
Using the classic rigged outhaul, how do I slack the clew, just reach up to the cleat and pull up the line?
Thanks!
Mike

Serial number ZFS76352M79J
P.S. Any idea what date this hull is? I assume early 80s.
