[Goonie]

WELL I NEED A LASER II OR I IN TORONTO. WILLING TO DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ludachris]

:twisted: LASER 2's are a dying fleet :twisted:

[Goonie]

ok but I want one

[Bradley]

Actually the Laser 2's are a growing fleet. They have really grown over the last few years.

[Goonie]

Whats more fun to sail? Laser I or II?

[Bradley]

I have never actually sailed a Laser II SO I can't say.

[geoff]

LASER 2's SUCK

[Goonie]

How come? Im not sure what I should get. Bronzes use Laser II's(to learn spin and trap). So if I got a Laser II I would be able to practice before the sumeer for sailing school. But this forum has made me think Laser I's are really exciting, SO NOW I DONT KNOW WHAT TO GET!

[ludachris]

dude, no dice on the L2, laser 2's are not growing, they dont even make them anymore.... so get a laser 1 or a radail, or if u want to sail double handed get hold of a 29er of 420. listen to ludachris... or if you are small grab a byte kid..
PZZZZ...

[macwas16]

dude what are you talking about?!? Vanguard still makes them.

[geoff]

the make them only on request

[ludachris]

AND WHAT BOIIIII! geoffs got my back... L2=Nub boat

[macwas16]

im a vangard dealer and they don't tell us only in request. if you mean that we don't stock them then yes that is true. but we could order one from the factory just as easy as a laser.

[geoff]

ok, laser 2's are usless

[macwas16]

ok then thats a better word for them. i hear they are extremely hard to keep upright.

[chris]

the reason that L2s are dying is the cursed 29er. a new boat comes on to the market and everyone jumps on the bandwagon and gets the boat, thus killing other fleets.

if your theory is true, then why is the laser still around?

[geoff]

because the laser had a strong fleet base. the laser 2 leeds to nothing. 420 - 470 29er - 49er - and there aren't many other single handed boats around in NA.

[chris]

well macwas16, the laser is still around because it is a strong fleet and there hasn't been any new boat to challenge it

That section of the market is saturated with amazing boats that are strong with class support, tradition and top notch competition. The L2 is on the bottom of a long list of boats that have held the establishment, (youth racing, juniors sailing squads), all over the world.

Boats like the club 420....and subsequent lightning and Thistle class will always be stronger. Take a ride in a L2 and then a Thistle, you'll be sold. If you learn downwind sailing in a Thistle....... the right way, you'll realize why boats like the L2 have hard times thriving. :!: 8)

[macwas16]

i truly did know the answer to my question i just wanted to challenge the theory...that's all

[Novie]

L2's are the shiznaat! (really sweet)
I think they are way more fun than singlehanded boats. Actually, any doublehanded boat is more fun than a single (everything but 420's of course!) Here on the east coast we still get 10-15 boat fleets, but yeah they are a dying class. There's still so many in central Canada though... Get a 29er if anything though. That's where it's at! You can almost get a good 29er for almost as little as a good L2.

[chris]

do not buy a 29er. i think they should all be put in a container and sunk to the bottom of the ocean
