Greetings, As a old sailor with my first used Laser, i have a couple of questions i hope some one can help me with. Where can i find a rigging (standing and...
Hey Herb, Well, Lasers aren't meant to be moored. They do not have a protective finish on the hull, they are intended to be pulled out after every use, and...
Hey, I was wondering if anyone is interested in a race ready year 2000 hull with rigging, straight mast, practice and race sails with a dolly and two boat ...

I'm in the market for a boat and I've found a 1997 in the Annapolis area that hasn't had much use and appears to be in good shape. One thing I did notice was...
Hey Duane, It depends what kind of trailer it is. If it's aluminum & gunwale supporting, that's not a terribly bad deal - I'd evaluate the trailer's own value...
Regrettably it looks like I will be forced to vacate a charming lakeside cottage in the New York area. I have a Laser 2 which has seen very little use in the...
To replace the carpet in the well, there are two solutions: 1) use the soft side of velcro strips with sticky backing (good for a quick fix). If I have time...
Thanks for the advice. The guy selling is Doug L., but I doubt if you know him through racing. He's had the boat for 2 seasons and in the water maybe 3-4...
Duane, I don't know if this is anecdotal or a function of geography, but I recently looked at two boats in the San Francisco area: a 2000 in good shape, on an...
My son and I want to start using our spinnaker this summer and need a pole. Would someone be kind enough to give me the length and diameter in case I run...
Thanks, the boat did appear to be brand new (including the sails and the lines) with the exception of the centerboard carpet and some minor cracking on the...
I would suggest going to a laser dealer and try ordering a new one....I dont belive they are too expensive...but I may be wrong...also you may look at ...
I'm looking for a good used laser 2 and was hoping I could get some information about the spinnaker. From what I can gather it seems like not all 2s...
Im not sure what the dates are but earlier 2's didnt have the launch tube...they had the spiniker in a launch bag...I have a 95 hull and it has the tube...I ...
Actually the tube adds about 15 lb. to the boat. When Ryan and I were training with Team LYRA we found that a proficient crew with the bag was always faster...

Kevin, Could you describe your "bag technique" in detail? I usually go out with a less than proficient crew, but I think the real problem is that my bag...
Marc, The spinnaker pole on my Laser 2 is: 8’-2” long, 1 ¾” diameter at the center, tapers to 1” diameter at each end. It has a spring loaded jaw at...
Hello, As the largest Laser 2 dealer in North America and having sailed them when they first came out in 1981, I have personally seen the different changes to...

Hey Marc, David Fried had a spinnaker pole explode on him last summer - I'm not sure whether it was a legit L2 pole or not. On the flip side, you definitely...
Hey Everyone, For all you out there that have one of these awesome boats, but yet to "pull out all the stops" - I want to "get you there!" I'm organizing a ...

and, by the way, after getting my new pole, i believe that the pole that exploded was not a legit l2 pole. it wasn't tapered, had the topping-lift eyestrap in ...
It was probab ly one of the old L2 poles. You found out why they stopped using them. Jonathan S. Corchnoy L2 7633 ... MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection...
Thanks to the group for the spinnaker pole advice, I'm working on getting a used L2 pole rather than try to kludge something up. The vision of one "exploding"...
Speaking of new sails.....anyone have a good source...or should I just head to my nearest Vanguard Dealer?? Good question on the numbers as well I will be...
Hey Marc, First of all, the objective of the Npt Regatta is to have fun and get ourselves going. We're not going to do any serious measuring. Basically, if it...
