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...
I think I remember reading a note by another group member who said his sidestay broke in the middle of sailing. Appears that it had rusted through from water...
The original set-up is for a straight halyard wire the rope at the tail pulling the jib up and tightening the rig. There is a handfull of guerilla sailors who...
I have recently had the misfortune of purchasing a Silva 103p from eBay with a mount and it was promised to be an item new never used sitting in th garage and...
It is me again, I've recently decided to throw the old shrouds away and get some new ones. While shopping around a local shop was out (or said so) of regular...
IS IT LEGAL? I DON'T CARE, IT WORKS, BUT CHECK IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO RACE WITH THIS. Right above the jib box there should be a little loop (maybe it is the...
Chris, There is something wrong with that Portsmouth Rating for the L2. Although none of the numbers are in brackets (which would mean it's based on 5 or less...
When I rig my boat on shore, everything is tight: jib halyard / stay, and the two side stays. But when I'm sailing, one of the two side stays will go limp,...
Those numbers are pretty accurate for 12 knots and under. The JY-15 has waterline on us, I think that's why it's faster if you're not trapping. The V-15 is...
No, it's not normal to have a slack shroud. Does this only happen when you are sailing upwind? The mainsheet can put quite a bit of tension on the rig. If your...
Hi, Chris, If you have an older boat, the compression load from the mast may be depressing the deck area around the mast step. Our sailing program has 10-15-...
I have a old style Laser 2 without the spinnaker chute. I would like to know if there is a bag or something I could hold it in for easy release on the deck. ...
