M is like a novelty rig to have, its slow and inefficient because there is no mast bend and it requires a separate piece to fit at the top. I'd offer $50 at most, depending on condition. Nobody even races them either.

This saved me, also just take your time with it. What I do with a complex number is that I peel the backing just a tad, then stick the exposed part on the area of the sail you want it, then one hand on the backing and the other...
Looks to be legal, but I would change it if you were going to sail in a major regatta, in my experience measurers will select you boat to measure just because it looks different and that could cause problems depending on how the measurer interprets the rules.
I made the Sunfish to Laser transition couple years back and it was a big one! At least here Lasers are so much popular and much more competitive. Racing is much more intense, many different people, not the 'same faces' all of the time which can be good or bad. The only thing about Lasers I've...
A quick tip from me is that when your sheeting in, you need to pay attention to your rudder, as you sheet in apply more rudder towards leeward. The reason being is that if you don't your boat will continue to head more windward and place you in the irons (thus a lost of wind and valuable speed)...
Woah thats a interesting tack... I kinda admire his form, he seems to take full advantage of getting he mast as low as he can. I doesn't look to be illegal to my eye as he does not get any significant boost easily seen.
From what I've been told, the older sails only have it on one side, in my case mine does on port side as well. As far as the different cut I don't think it has changed, the material may have, but I don't think it has or this class would be like the Sunfish class with two different cuts (Race and...
Not exactly, when you start to talk about wether your "good" will mean you will win is where you start entering the grey area of it. It usually gives advantage but even when your good there is always going to be people who are "better" and even lighter weight can't help you in all situations.
Being 18 and at 6'-1" and at 150lbs it can be a huge challenge to keep a standard rig somewhat flat and competitive (some cases just keeping up with the pack) in winds 15+ knots, even in heavy/light winds its tough because the standard was designed for a heavier person and even in light winds, a...
well its cheap, but it also looks old, like mid 70's. It might be worth checking out if it isn't too far away. Read this before you go too: http://www.laserforum.org/know/index.php?title=Complete_guide_to_buying_a_Laser&oldid=1542
as far as how much you need to put in it for racing, this boat...
