Hello everybody, It took some effort to reduce the size of all 750 pictures that were taken during the worlds and making them available online - but at last -...

I bought a 1982 Canadian built laser 2 this summer. The hull is solid and was supposed to be water tight when I bought it (I believe it was.) The previous...
Chris, I can't answer the question if the bailer is isolated from the hull interior, but I'm sure someone else will be able to. However, two things you should...
Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm new to the boat, and just beginning to figure everything out. So it is great to know there are other Laser 2 sailors out...
While we're on the (sorta) subject... Anyone on the list know of any Laser2 sailing happening in Hong Kong? I'm moving out here soon, wondering if there are...

I can confirm that the bailer is isolated from the hull cavity. (I don't have a bailer in my boat at the moment) The fibreglass meets together to form the hole...
Actually, the deck and hull meet at the auto-bailer, and this *is* a place where you can get a leak. The boat would have to get "soft" in some way around there...
Hey Everyone, Ryan Donahue was kind enough to crew for me in the 3rd annual Sail For Hope charity fundraiser regatta - a race around Jamestown Island in ...
Avram- thats frikkin awesome! the sailing part, not the crashing part of course. i'm so jealous... life proceeds down here in SWVA, the new VT sailing club...
Unbelievable sailing Avram. The photos are excellent. How long did the race take? Joe, is the lower gudgeon the bracket on the transom that accepts the ...
Hey David, The start was at 11, and we think we got in at 3:30. Of course the 4 miles we spent sailing on jib alone, in the 15 foot seas, after the capsize,...
Many of you know that I'm an avid Frostbite racer in Newport (which up till this point is only in Lasers and Hobie 14's, but we're working on that). I just...
... I hate the cold like a lizzard. Even in warm summer days I'm found dresses as if it is 15 degrees colder. I really suffer in cold weather. This must be...
The Na Laser II groups is being overused. I am a former Laser II sailor and I keep on the list just in case there is something good. Instead I end up deleting...

As a current Laser 2 sailer I have to disagree with Rob. I like the posts, whether they are technical in nature or just stories of L2 sailing. We shouldn't...
Just my few cents worth. For anyone who doesn't want so many emails from the group - go to the group home page, sign in and then you can choose to have your...
I totally agree with David, keep-um coming. Don't want to read it, delete it. The Venture Newport sailing group I'm a member of posts 15-20 emails a day, some...
This afternoon I was looking at a mostly blue sky with a few puffy white clouds, and the lake had about a 10 knot breeze from the south. It was about 80 F (28...

Different people have different tastes. My experience is that people who grew up with wet suits will wear them in absurdly cold weather. I personally find that...
avram, this may sound silly but i need a clarification: do you wear a dry suit ONLY or do you wear a waterproof windbreaker on top? also, i wonder what the...
