LaserTryKeel 0 #1 Posted August 27, 2020 Has anyone had experience with hydrofoils on Lasers??? I haven’t been active with my 1974 Laser. But in the 1980s it was modified with two extra sleeves for left and right dagger boards. Each dagger board had a controllable hydrofoil. But something was wrong with the design and in steady 15-20 knot winds we were unable to get the boat to plane. Since then the inventor friend has passed away but it did feel like being a Wright Bro. I’m proud to say that I bought the boat new at a Solomon Island MD boatyard and a Chesapeake Champ was my instructor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David was unable to convince the NYYC to replace the bulb with hydrofoils. But they fortunately listened to someone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
