Does anyone know the length of a laser mainsheet that when two figure eight knots at the end the boom is at 91 or 92 degrees?
I lost my mainsheet and dont want to buy the recomended 46 feet, which seems like way to much for me.
Can you tell the age of a sail by looking at it?
I have what apears to be a never used sail, but it seems kind of old, it has green stiching across the pannels, and an older looking Red patch, no button. It even smells old, and feels a little waxy to the touch. Could this sail be competetive...
Today I saw on a really old laser a (3 inch diameter?) circle piece of metal on the deck about half way between the cunningham fairlead, and the cunningham cleat. This was a really old boat. All i remember is that it was build in '75 and had a builder mark/sticker on the bow side of the mast...
Can I "attach" an optional outhaul block to the ouhaul clam cleat by tying a bowline around the block, and then passing the tail end of the bowline through the cleat, and then tie the tail around the boom?
I need to take out an old hiking strap, and replace it with a new one.
What should i do? Detailed instructions please, i dont want to ruin anything.
What kind of stuff should i use to fill the holes to make sure its water proof?
What can i do to make sure that the screws wont come out...
ok, ive seen these in a lot of pictures and wondered what the heck they are? They are a little sleeve that is on the outside of the mast, and is usually a different color. And its always under the boom/about 4 inches from the gooseneck on the mast. Here is a picture that i found.
WHAT THE HECK...
I am purchasing a new radial lower section, and have a few questions. I was wondering if:
1) All lower sections are made the same and have absolutely no difference
2) Can you find better lower sections if you look hard enough at the details?
3) Are there any tips for buying a new lower...
Ok,
Are wind indicators worth it?
If so..what is the best one to buy?
is their really apoint to them?
Is there a difference between the plastic solid ones, and the flag/string types?
I need a new life jacket.

Please reply if you have ANY imput at all.
