Hi All,
I’m likely to be selling my Laser this spring to get a boat my wife and I can race together. I’ll miss Laser sailing, but look forward to getting my wife into the sport! I have somebody interested in my boat already, but I haven't settled on an asking price. I've researched previous posts, but would like some additional input to get a clearer idea of the boats' value. Would you be willing to share your thoughts? Here are the stats:
1996 Laser Full Rig
Sail number 158709 (not a Vanguard)
• 3 sails (newest is 2 years old, but little use the last year...others are strictly practice or club race)
• Hull is pretty stiff, but rough around the edges and especially a chipped up bow. There are spider cracks on either side of the daggerboard well on the hull, as well as on the hull where it rounds from side to bottom. From fore to aft, these are located around the front of the cockpit. Weight is unknown
• Rudder is in good shape, but daggerboard needs some work.
• Upgraded Vang, cunnigham, outhaul, plus all the older parts included
• "Gorge Proofed" so everything that can be through-bolted has been: blocks, gooseneck, vang-tang, ratchet/strap base, boom eyelets, etc
• Carbon tiller and extension
• Frederickson ratchet
• Seitech Dolly
• Collie Sails Blade Bag
• OLD deck cover
• Roadworthy trailer with spare...not a kittyhawk. The bunks need re-working.
I'm in an area where there is active fleet-building, if that will affect the price.
Thanks!
