I am a regular Laser sailor although I mostly sail in a local club instead of large class events. But I support the class, always use only class legal equipment, and want to see the class stay strong and vibrant. I don't care much about whether it stays an Olympic class, and I understand the...

I am staying in Mission Bay, San Diego for about a month. Is there a place that I can rent a Laser for some day sailing on Mission Bay? Thanks for all advice.
