I think Chas's boat was a Mardi Gras. Saw it only briefly before the sail and rig were nicked!
At the 1988 World Masters in Falmouth Jeff was ribbed that his Liberty print Laser was bound to be heavier, but it didn't stop him beating me.
If you were at the Mounts Bay Nationals you'll remember...
'Horizon' is right: it will be 115704, from 1982-ish. The plate will originally have had the '1' printed on, with the following 5 digits stamped into the plate. I think the orange ones might have been called Sunburst, and they had a striped sail to go with the hull - not inconspicuous. In 1983...

Just one point about the Ronstan sheaveless pulley discussed in LaserWorld: it's not Laser-legal. Someone should have copy-checked this with the Measurers.

The hiking bench in the photos is still going strong; wish the same could be said for the...
