    Deck softening

    It's delaminating. The fiberglass is separating from the foam. Try not to sit in that area.

    Do Laser courses suck?

    I love a windy reach but I love a downwind even more. I sailed in the 70s and early 80s and then stopped until 2010; the new downwind technique is so much fun and more challenging than a reach. Give it a try; you'll get hooked for sure.

    Cut lower Mast to make a radial mast----

    Torrid, have you tried it? I have; I sailed quite a bit with a cut off standard mast. A proper radial section works better of course but I didn't think we were talking racing. For playing around a cut off standard section works fine. Save your money and go sailing. E

    Cut lower Mast to make a radial mast----

    Yes, tried it. Not much harder to sheet in. Added advantage, your bottom section will not permanently bend.

    Laser Cockpit Autobailer "Not class legal for racing" . . . What?

    Just out of curiosity, how would you establish whether a bailer or a gudgeon is class legal or not? The old ones are identical, w/o any "Laser" stamped on it. Will try to steer clear of your and LaLi's club even though my boat is legal.... E

    Laser Cockpit Autobailer "Not class legal for racing" . . . What?

    If you're planning on sailing at a world championship and bringing your own boat, then consider buying the class legal bailer. I don't even think there is any markings on the class legal bailer distinguishable. Same for gudgeons. Then there are a bunch of other fittings (cleat base, double pad...

    Looking to put a fair price on an older Laser

    50 cents. But you'll have to buy your own new sail. I just donated my 1988 boat to a sailing school. Three sails, full new rigging. Really, a Laser that old should be donated to anyone willing to sail it. E

    Aging Laser

    Leaky Lena is a 1988 or 89 boat, with a "gloriosus" past; current Camellia Cup Champion... Bought it in 2011 when I got back into sailing and have sailed it probably 300 times in SF bay. Always leaked but every year I would fix the leak and get it in good enough shape to still be used it as a...
