I've been looking to buy a second hand laser, and had come across a page at lasersailing.com that allowed you to enter a sail number, it would then tell you how old the boat is. Since they've had a redesign I can't find it anymore. Does anyone know if it's still there and I'm blind, or another site with similar info ?

Whats the sail number?

There is a document on the Laser Class site that gives the information you want, I won't screenshot it for obvious reasons but if you give me the number, I'll let you know the year.

Thanks

Thanks, but I don't have a specific one in mind, was just looking for a general idea of how old boats with a 155nnn sail number are

I am not going to be the Laser Age verifier, if you want the information as said its on the class site.
5450 is 1973
