Hi all, I'm a new member to your group. After having my Laser 2 "garaged" for 10 years I'm starting to sail it again and wondering why I even stopped sailing...
I cleaned mine out painstakingly with a pocket knife and a file. I never used 3M 5200 glue again (which is what the mfr. uses). I now use 2-part 20 minute...
Willy, Not to be contrary to Jonathan, but Epoxy is also quite difficult to get off, and in doing so, you run the risk of taking off a fair bit of hull in the...
I used 5200 since it is rubbery when dry and flexes well. Regular epoxy tends to be brittle when dry and since the daggerboard gets a lot of pressure while...

... Thanks very much for all of your suggestions. I ended up taking the recommendations that seemed best for me. I spent 2 evenings using various types of...
For a long-term bond 5200 glue is better. The problem arose with me was that the carpet inevitably comes off (Murphy's Law) at the worst possible moment - in...
It seems like everytime I take out my laser II I'm finding new chips in the back of my center board. None are very big, but i'm starting to get annoyed. Do...
Try looking really closely at your centerboard and getting really familiar with all the chips that are already there, so you don't notice more of them later...
I found that three things might cause such chips assuming you are not hitting bottom with the board: 1) Is the CB felt tight enough and far enough back in the...
Hi I was reading some postings about carpet in the cb well. I don`t think there is any in my boat. Where should I see it? Is that why the water comes up the...
Hello Everyone, The 2008 Newport Regatta will be the Laser 2 North Americans. This will be a 2 day event, Saturday and Sunday, July 12th & 13th. If you're a...
I'm a new laser2 owner in the Portland, Oregon USA area. Just wondering if there are other L2 sailors nearby. The local boat shop was aware of at least a...
Hi everybody, Very unfortunately there has been a miscommunication within the sailing club of Makkum. The result of this is that they told us a wrong date for ...
There are 2 Laser 2's sailing in Santa Cruz, CA. I would probably be interested in racing up in Portland if there were a good amount of boats committed to a...
Really, there are two L2's in Santa Cruz? I've been sailing my L2 out of Redwood City (home is San Jose) for several years but recently lent it to my brother...
Hello all. New guy here, returning to sailing after many years, formerly in an FJ. Avram's website was a real inspiration -an L2 sure seems like a lot of boat...
I must be the one you refer to as one of the 'older couple' sailing in the Redwood City area. I also recently joined this group after starting to sail my...
Oops, that was not a very sensitive statement.open mouth, insert foot. At 40 years old I should know better.it's like throwing stones in a glass house. . I...
I live in Mill Valley, CA and just recently bought an older Laser II. I might be up for some racing in the area, Santa Cruz or Tahoe would not be out of the...
I need to replace the Ronstan (RF-7) base on the cockpit floor. It seems to be held in place with (4) 10-32 machine screws. 3 of the 4 loosen, but will not...
Hi I'm Tyler Froatz I'm new to the Laser 2 group. I'm in northern NJ and was out in Sandy Hook Bay when off the wind as the speed increases the boat picks up...
Richmond YC would give Laser 2's a start at their Midwinters series if there are 5 boats or more signed up. RYC is just north of Oakland, CA and the midwinters...
Pat, I'll commit to one or two Sundays in December (can't do all 4) if we can get 3 or 4 boats (5 would be awesome!).I lent my boat to my brother up in ...
I would like to thank everyone for there responses and welcome's. I inspected the centerboard slot and it only has carpet on the top so ill try the velcro on...
Hi, I am new to the group and have just purchased a Laser 2 and have2 questions: 1. How can I identify what year my Laser 2 is? There are no numbers on the...
Welcome to the group. I'm new here too, but I'll give it a try... The last 2 digits of the serial # is the "model year". The 2 digits ahead of that are the...
To add to what paul said, if your boat was built in north america your hull ID # would be embossed on the upper right of the transom, under the gunwale. If it...
Jason, Further to the question about year of manufacture, there is a website where you can enter the full hull id and get more complete builder information...
