Very old coloured lasers can be painted with two pack epoxy, need to repair all the cracks and scratches 1st though. Great finish can be achieved with foam roller (Dulux) application "tipped off" with a foam brush.

If the hull is terminal then just look for a bare hull and swap the bits over, usually plenty of those around.

Easy design to copy, just ask a local trailer builder to make you one.

I have seen lots of lasers with these hull deformations but none so far where it has caused a problem. Fibreglass is surprisingly flexible if pressure is applied over time in a warm environment, unless there is any cracking ignore it. they may even disappear once you have a better trolley for a...

There is a new Italian rowing boat class using laser hulls, even a ripped out mast step would still work for that.

Hull number?

Looks like it has worn through the mast tube, putty glue and the whole of the mast step, repair is better done with epoxy resin if you can get it. It is really important to get the area dry as well because that hull is going to have a bucket full of water inside despite your best effort to drain...

Logically with over 200,000 lasers built how many of the surviving hulls are ever likely to sail in an "official" event? I suspect the answer is a very small proportion therefore the market for budget price replica kit must be considerably larger than for the premium priced class legal gear.

Or a dumb arse, just trying to help.:confused:

Who knows what answer you will get it is called advice for a reason.

Needs an inspection hatch near the mast step.
