Agree very jealous! My boat is locked in the clubs dinghy park, out of bounds due to lockdown over here :-( -

If this LP Laser is second hand, in my book you arn't putting money into LP's pocket. The first owner did that. I say if it's a good deal & increases your fleet size, go for it. -
Looks like water has got under the varnish. Always a problem with wooden boats.

I just looked at Apolloduck for the US & it's got 1 dinghy listed...lol. Bit different to the UK version.

Not talking about the "Practice" sail which is £219 & is made of a lighter cloth. The Class Compliant & Class Legal sails are exactly the same apart from the red button & price. I've got a Class Compliant one & it even has a serial number on it, the same as the Class Legal ones just no button. All 3 different sails have the Laser Logo. Ah, just realised this is the ILCA thread...Doh. -

I never understood why a "Class Compliant sail" (£410) is £130 cheaper than a "Class Legal sail" (£540) here in the UK. The only difference is one has a red button! -

Why can't people except the Rocket for what it is? A small fun simple sailing dinghy... sound familiar, Laser in the 70's & that didn't catch on...LOL

Lucky you, we were going to have a race on the 2nd January but we're in Tier4 now! I used to sail one of them, got it from Broxbourne SC back in the early 90's. Lovely little boat for exploring the Salting but it didn't like the Blackwater chop. -

Why couldn't a prop guard be made out of some sort of moulded plastic? Maybe 3D printed even.
