Hey Chris, welcome ;-) Try this page at BC Sailing: http://www.bcsailing.bc.ca/racing/schedule_onedesign/ class_associations.htm There is a Laser 2 contact...
Just tooting my own horn, here: I just won my first club race, winning the centerboard class and the overall (beating all the keelboats as well, 11 other...
I usually don't post on this group, but I want to make one final plea to try to get more people up to CORK (Kingston, Ontario, Canada, August 21-25) for the...
Hey Everyone, The Laser Class, who does pay us some amount of attention, has suggested that we pick an existing regatta, and label it the Canadian, or North...
avram, if you assume that the biggest regatta on this continent will be cork, as it evidently has been in the past, then it would stand to reason that it...
My boat came without non-skid strips. I just received some from APS. They are 5 foot strips. Can someone let me know what is the best placement for the...
Good Day Group: As a newbie L2 sailor, I was wondering if any of you had some basic advice on the proper way to manage wind gusts in order to sail efficiently....
Hey Alan, The dinghy racer's mantra is "ease, hike, trim." The skipper needs to be hot on the main sheet at all times. You find just the right position for...
Hey Everyone, Ok, we have a nearly final plan regarding decisions with worlds. CORK has initially agreed to host the event. It is the class's choice as to...
Thanks Avram: My wife was on the wire, so I'll really have to work on that trust issue :) I wanted to ask you about something else you mentioned. About the ...
USA 9856 will be there. Marcus Spillane will be chartering our 2nd boat. I'll try to get some of the old Lyrites to come out as well. Kevin Teborek USA9856...

I checked my >>'s transom and found the following alphanumeric sequence : ZFS01218M80L assuming both O's are zeroes, they are identical in shape & size Does...
The 2005 Laser 2 world championships are taking place between the 18th - 24th August 2004 as part of CORK regatta which is the largest sailing regatta held in...
Hi all, Well, it looks like our club season is over, and my first season of racing is in the books. I need to practice more over the winter, and I'm looking...
Hey Tad, Well, you could always get a crew... but I gather you've ruled that out for some reason. Once you get spinnaker rigged, you'll need a partner. There...
Tad, In additional to what Avram said (to which I completely concur) for about a $100 you can have a reef point added to the main. I did this on my L2 and it...
... Actually, what is even better than this is to run your jib sheets to opposing trapeze hooks. Just tie them there. That way they are right in front of you...
Ahoy out there. I just ran into someone who's looking for just an upper mast section. Does anyone out there have or know of a spare upper mast section? While...
Avram - would you please ask if someone has a used L2 in NC,SC or VA? Thank you. David David Jacobson Village Court,Inc. 712 S.Bennett St. Southern Pines, NC...
I'm new to this forum, just having purchased a used Laser 2 in the SF Bay area. The boat does not have any daggerboard rugs. I've read earlier postings about...
just attach to the top & bottom. Make sure the surfaces are clean, *rough* and *very* dry. If you don't get the adhesive kind, then make sure the rug back is...
should i be worried about the forestay cable which runs through the jib having rusted? the rust has stained the entire length of the sail. im not concerned...
Aaa.....HA! Welcome to the club Chris. Isn't there a fellow singlehander L2 sailor out there in the SF Bay? When I got my L2 (an old one) I was under the...
Yes, I'm here Kosmas, Chris and I have been chatting off-line. Wow, that's a lot of steps for raising the mast by yourself. I know this isn't great for the...
I also trailer my L2 with all rigging in place....it takes the least amount of time to raise the mast this way and all you really need are a bunch of small ...
... Before I got my little dry dock slip, I would rig up the jib *before* raising the mast. Then I could raise the mast to vertical by walking up the cockpit,...
Jim, I am 5'10" and from where the boat sits on the trailer I can barely reach about as far as the boom gooseneck. That leaves too little leverage to be...
Oops, I have two boats and got them mixed up...there is of course no backstay on the L2, the shrouds (which I leave hooked up and bungied to the hiking straps...
Koz: What did you mean when you wrote: "Then attach jib halyard to the jib and pull it up (I have a 2:1 purchase and sqitched from wire to rope to straight...
