Depending upon how you launch, a good dolly (Dynamic is the best solution), cover, board bag, and possibly a sail spar bag. Like others said, a good life jacket. A good sailing one, that is slim for getting under the boom. Possibly a spar mounted wind indicator. Tell tales for the sail...
Pearson moved into Laser and Sunfish building as the sailboat industry started to decline. These boats were built as Pearson was struggling and eventually closed. I have had six Lasers and and one was a Pearson built boat. Bought the Pearson boat new. It leaked, from day one and was never...
Agree. At some point, I would think LP will fold and then who acquires the Sunfish brand? Without the ICLA (Laser), poor quality and limited supply of what they do build, I can't see how they can live on that model.
Sea Hawk brand Ice Blue is fairly close to the LP boat I had. LP was zero help with gel coat. I had to fix several defects, typical of every LP product I have owned!
I had a Worlds boat that had deck gel cracking around the mast step. LP warrantied the boat with another LP new (never used none worlds boat). At the 2020 Masters NA's, the deck cracked on the replacement boat. It Cracked where the deck over hangs the inner footwell tub edge. I could flex...
Cracks on both boats are in the front of the step on the deck. Thinking now the deck is in tension, like the mast tube is placing upward stress on the deck. Mast tube is molded with the deck, and when the deck and hull are bonded together the tolerance is too tight, or removal of foam has...
My boat was packed well and arrived without cracking. It arrived in early winter, I waxed it, then it immediately went into storage. Cracks were noticed before I sailed it this spring. They developed as the boat aged. I believe its a gel coat curing issue, or build process change issue. My...
Wow, those look exactly like my pictures. I had to stay on Laser Performance. The dealer (The Dinghy Shop), was great to work with, as they were sort of stuck in the middle. Good luck.
The first boat, had a 2020 HIN. It was replaced with a 2019 HIN, although still brand new. After one...
To follow up on this. LP replaced the boat with a new hull. Jim with the Dinghy shop was great to deal with. I have the boat back at my home club and raced it last evening. So far so good.
I purchased a 2020 event boat, and had it shipped. Boat arrived in great shape except for a gauge in the bottom from the mast. I fixed this myself and went on. The boat arrived in the winter and was washed, waxed and put in storage. I pulled the boat out this week, and the deck around the...
