Jul 24, 2012 #1 T Trav New Member I have a laser with sail number 13040. Its still going strong and used a few times each year. But I'm trying to find out when it was built. Can anyone tell me the year it was manufactured? Thanks

Jul 25, 2012 #4 sinogin Member Is there a serial number on the transom of your laser? The last two digits will be the model year.
Jul 25, 2012 #5 torrid Just sailing A sail number that low was definitely built sometime in the early 70s. The early boats don't have a serial number on the stern like the current boats, but they do have the sail number imprinted under the bow eye.

Jul 25, 2012 #6 racinglasers Member I would guess 1972 - 1973 ? Used to own 52547 bought in 1976 or so.
