gday,
I am a 60 something 90 kilo something aussie male who has fond memories of regularly capsizing Moth back in the 1970’s. A recent foray into sailing was putting a couple of different sized Pacific Action sails on my 5.1m sea kayak, lots of fun but not exactly the sailing fix I was hoping for. Anyway good old Facebook Marketplace feed turned up a 1992 Laser, beach trolley and Standard rig plus 4.7m and Radial rigs with sails for a very good price.
Definitely a fixer-upper with first task to separate the mast from the Radial mast base. Thanks to whoever it was here who wrote up how they winched the sections apart, that was the solution I needed. A loose rivet in the mast connector cap was the culprit. A good excuse to buy a few bits and pieces and swap the mast over.
I need to work out a safe way to load and unload the hull by myself from the roof of my ute, any suggestion?
It will be a few weeks before I finally launch the Laser but until then I will trawl the interweb for lots of great tips.
catch you all later.
