Can I transport a laser in a 5.75' pickup bed... maybe with a hitch truck "bed extender"? Any advice on the best way to do this if so? Was hoping to roll the dolly onto it maybe bow first to make it a one man show... but not sure if there is enough support. So bed length, plus tail gate...

I'm thinking about picking up a 1991 boat build by PSB. It's about $2500, in excellent shape and comes with radial and full rigs plus a dolly. I've read about PSB problems but am tempted by this as it seems like a great deal and the search is frustrating. I'm looking for a used boat in that...

Hi All, I've been thinking about this for a little while since I logged onto this forum a couple of years ago. It seems like a lot of sailors have the same questions or that topics have be discussed at length multiple times. On the other hand, a sailor may have a question where bits and pieces...

Hi Everyone, Looking for a little advice. Currently running the classic-style 1-1 Cunningham. Down from the grommet, through the little eyelet and back to the traveler style cleat. Wanted to upgrade to the 6-1 system. Do I need to replace the eyelet or traveller cleat on the deck or...

I found what I was looking for in the Laser tuning guide off the Vanguard web page. In the article, it references the article listed above. Does anyone by any chance have this lying around or know where to find it? All the best, Colin

Hi All, I've been reading about setting up the laser. I think I'm getting close on the downwind and reach. Upwind however, I'm still confused on. I searched through some posts on here but found a lot of conflicting info and bits and pieces. I just read this article though which I found by...
