Greetings -
I just took ownership of a "new" old Laser (ZFS87812M80F).
Previous owner thought it was a 1980 but the hull numbers don't seem to fit the usual numbering scheme.
It came with a sail bag with the words "New numbers" and "3.8".
Sail numbers are 87812 which does fit the hull ID.
I'm suspecting that this is a "Laser M" series craft but have searched everywhere and every way I can think of (on the web) and can find nothing about the "M" series other than it was a failed experiment and that it had a shorter upper mast section. Details are always missing.
It has been retrofitted to the 2001 vang assembly and I'm hoping it was "upgraded" to "Standard Laser" at the same time... is that possible to do?
Does anyone know exactly WHAT the dimensions ARE for a Laser M?
Is the hull the same as a Standard Laser?
Here are mine:
------------------
Hull: 168 in
Beam: 54.5 in
Lower Mast: 112.5 in
Upper Mast: (full): 142 in
Total Mast: (assembled but not in hull): 242 in
Boom: 107.5 in
Thanks a bunch,
