I like it! "Angle of panic."

How about some salopettes?

Actually, the buyer's guide link is broken, so I attached the file and it's at the bottom of the page now. Too tired to figure out how to make it a link right now.

Block to block refers to the aft boom block and top traveler block. Don't know how you get more than block to block with any blocks. Perhaps, as you suspect, it means to "super-vang." Sounds like a quick way to break a boom.

Beautiful!

Any of the fittings that has a screw could leak, including the deck fairleads, mainsheet block, centerboard brake, or the cockpit railings. Silicon is the answer.

What rule change could they not make?

Arthur, these guys are kidding you. We are a Laser sailboat forum.

This is a Laser Sailboat forum. Not laser lights.

Homebrewed roof rack looks brilliant. Is the beach in the picture origin or destination for your Laser? It's 11 degrees F this morning at my locale. :eek:

Welcome, Dale! Sounds idyllic.

Not cautious enough if you are sailing in 40 degree weather in a partial wet suit. IMHO.

That is very odd. I thought only the boats made in the first two years, early 70's, had the number under the bow eye. That would be four digits. Plus, your number sounds like a sail number. The rest of us have a HIN, hull identification number, that is coded.

If they are on the stern, they are imprinted in the gel coat. Also, look under the bow eye. There may be a number printed there.
