C'mon people - we need numbers! Only 3 people have signed up so far - and I'm only specifically aware of one lazy bum who is racing but hasn't signed up yet......

Hey Everyone, Most of you already know this, but I just wrote a detailed description of how the jib, halyard, shrouds & forestay work, so I figured I should ...
... Nice of you to post this --- thanks. I had another question, so perhaps someone could help a n00b. I quickly went through the rigging DVD, and I thought I...
Good Day Sailors: My kids were complaining on the weekend that they were having difficulty sheeting in our L2 with the traveller rigged "for beginners" (as per...
Neither arrangement will have any affect on sheeting, except that with the "beginner" arrangement you simply can't get the sail as close-hauled period. If that...
Hi: I am sailing the ur-version of the Laser 2, it still has the one-piece, tappered mast. The boat sails well, however, I am wondering about guidelines for...
... I just got some good advice last week to try to keep the block along the centerline as much as possible. I saw on the rigging DVD that you can (somehow)...
When I purchased my used L2 it was missing the rudder and tiller, which sank during a capsize. I recently puchased a new one (major cash) and on our first...
Alan, Almost all Laser 2's have a retaining plate, however they changed how it worked at one point. Older boats came with a rudder that had a stainless steel...
Hi All, Just a gentle reminder that tomorrow is the last day for early entry into the European Championships. Save some money and enter the Europeans now. Only...

Hey Everyone, Someone just asked me this, and for posterity's sake, I'm writing the answer to the list as I don't believe it's been detailed here before. ...
Hi all, Looking at the rigging DVD again, and I noticed that on his L2 he has a mainsheet block on a swivel base with a cam cleat attached on an arm extending...
Hi, I just bought a 1999 Laser 2 this weekend. Wow! It's really a cool boat! Can't wait to get it out in the water! As we put the boat on the new aluminum...
This past weekend we enjoyed the excitement of some strong wind sailing. Not sure what the wind speed was, however my windsurfing buddies were out on 4.5 -...
Rig on land. Seriously though, rig jib and main on shore. You can cleat of jib when on the dolly, it won't sail away. Get a clew hook for the main (it is a...

I used the clew hook like Kevin is saying, for a long time. In the end what I found is that in big air, even the hook is fairly difficult to get in place while...
Hey Tad, I don't know why those other blocks wouldn't fit, but what I can tell you is you can't install a block like that yourself, because it carries too...
I have some questions about the spinnaker. Toppinglift: shock cord from hook goes down to where? i tied it off to the mast step but i doubt thats right spin...

It seems to me that my trailex trailer mount ends up sitting behind the underside of the u-bolt and the bow. It's not a perfect fit, but it works. You...
... Are you talking about a pole downhaul? In the US, most people I've seen sail without a pole downhaul, I don't have one. In most cases, the guy pulls down...
I found this thread about slippy jib cleats on the UK Laser2 forum interesting and thought about passing it over to the other side of the ocean. My single...
On the question of the four bolts over two is that the floor is two thin where the extra bolts would go but the load would be half of what it is on the two...
A newbie tuning question. On the weekend, I noticed that at times the main seemed to have a flutter in it, despite us sailing in a stiff breeze. I expect I am...
How far out do you have to ease before the draft in your main touches the shroud? I'm assuming your outhaul is nearly all the way tight? Was this happening...
avram, what thickness line do you use for main halyard? marlow is sold in fractions of an inch but the specs that i have are in millimeters and im not sure of...
