laser 2 types?

Originally posted by lozza Think it was ian, aiming at the caravan park. Was was the full list of replacement items on the boat? I got a spinny pole in the eye at uni, crew was a bit overeager to drop the kite.  Same day i almost ripped a finger off on the shroud, not a pleasant day, that was the last time i sailed one!

Replacement list for the 2- one kite, one kite pole, one rudder and stock, one tiller, a few extensions, countless ammounts of blocks and the Laser Centre put a new mast on her when we swapped her for the 5000. We also out of her free will put a few new sails on her and replaced all the ropes, the hull was still immaculate though. She was one seriously sorted boat and I still miss her  We only put a new mast on the 5000 and she was sorted when we sold her. The 49er has only needed a daggerboard due to a crew landing on it.

Saying that though we did really hammer the two over 4 years, remember going three sail reaching over taking 505s and the spreaders ripping off, not a nice experience and we were really screaming at that regatta till that point......gutted

Did Ian do that or was that down South? Can't believe we lost our pole by dropping it in the water, got a new one then found the old one washed up on the beach a few weeks later. Some boat eh?

Does anyone know where GBR 8471 is????

yes im talking about the loop in front of the mast that the spinnaker pole attaches to, and i find the bow catcher really helpful, i only fitted it a month ago and i never run over my spinnaker now!

One loop means that the kite fills the whole of the boat when its dropped, two means that the kite won't go into the chute in the first place.  Its a bit of a catch22 situation.

The most valuble piece of equipment on the L2 is the loop of wire on the bow!
