I'm trying to find a laser to sail in the AYC weds night series. Tried e-mailing gouvernail but no response yet. Anybody else got a contact or a boat there? Would love to get out tomorrow (9/6).
Thanks!
The MK II practice sail looks terrible. Even after several sessions it has the large crease. I also ripped out part of the Cunningham cringle last time I sailed. Definitely not worth buying unless it is improved.
Dave & Steve,
I definitely understand your lack of interest in producing a trailer that seems completely unnecessary and redundant. I don't dispute your assertion that car topping is completely viable and likely the best and least expensive option. However, it seems that there is a strong...
It looks like I will be visiting Austin with some frequency over the next year. Any advice on dinghy racing here? I would especially enjoy some laser sailing. Any ideas on how to charter or rent one of those beasts?

What are the bits that break most frequently? I'm trying to put together a small repair kit without having two of everything.
So far:
Fairleads for trav + out haul
Gooseneck
Vang tang
Eye strap 4 boom blocks
What else do you recommend?
I recently tried a friends "buoyancy aid" for a regatta after years of using USCG life jackets. Mine is in the mail. For the kind of sailing you do the decreased bulk will be nice.
It is not a tension curve from cunno but too much material in the luff problem. My take is that with the heavier fabric it takes more breeze to pull that material out down wind. The issue disappeared as the wind built for me.
