My laser has delaminated all around other than the center board and mast step is it project worth trying its a "83" ???

I have just been through this process Pete with an old 2000 and I am amazed at the results. Brilliant guide and advice. I was a little apprehensive rubbing down in the early stages but the end finish is fantastic.

This guided me perfectly to the work that wItrts on my laser hull / Robert DK

Awesome guys, thank you very much

For the dinghy demonstrated, what would you value it at Pete?

Great video and great knowledge to have when you're about to buy a view a Laser pt1 and Pt 2 well presented thanks

Cheers for this series. Well presented and easy to follow.

I just got one of these, I paid $200. for, but just the hull. A friend gave me the mast and boom in good condition, so I went online and was lucky. I have alot of experience restoring cataramans and windsurfers. I have a lot of extra parts I can use, and modify. This video was very helpful for me, I learned some important things. I will fix a big soft spot in the back section, under the traveler line. I'm going to cut the whole section out, bind the two layers with epoxy. Then all around the boat, on the seem, between the top and sides. And these lazers save as complicated as cararamans, which surprised me. I'm anxious to try it out. And thanks for showing the dagger board and rudder, I now know the best size to make them.

Properly love these, there's a natural nature to these videos and it means they're less flashy and somehow more trustworthy. I feel far more confident in making my fibreglass repair now, thanks.

Can you advise how to repair a leaky mast hole on a laser sailboat?

Hi, any advise on purchasing topper ISOs? Any common problems? Thank you.

I'm looking to buy one. This is gold! Thank you.

will this technique work further back on a 200 where the launching trolley has caused a crack all the way through. ive just found an almost identical crack on my 200 tonight to the one in your 200 buying guide part 2, that i need to fix but not sure how to stabilise the internal skin and core.. will painting resin on stabilise the inner skin and core enough?

Many Thanks ,,My fibre glass Filter Tank cracked hence the all water ran out losing about 40 odd Fish all about 8/9 inches long ,,SOoo This will help me repair the filter box for the other 30 odd survivors,,, Your video was VERY clear and informative. Again Many Thanks Budgie from Bognor Regis

I would also look at stiffness of the hull. Any thoughts on how to assess this objectively?

Helpful videos, thanks! Is it necessary to use "wax in styrene" at any point?

How's that part 3 doing?

Very helpful but please stop saying actually and obviously all the time

Hey, is this also how you could split the two halves? By using a dremel and going all around? I habe an old dinghy and unfortunately the wood inside thats used to hold hardware in place rottet away. So i need to open it up to redo it.

We use this method to repair our ilca lasers. The resin is used without adding bubbles because we don't have any. Thank you from Perros Guirec french Brittany.

Great video learn so much’ and now a lot less confuse about what to use or not use ….. any course date ?

👌 p̾r̾o̾m̾o̾s̾m̾

Love it thanks so much! @ilcalasersailor

Excellent as always

Great help. When's part 2 coming?

Great video well presented thanks

You been a great help in finding out what in red to do I'm converting a laser dingy into something for the canal I've cut all the deck out now it's time for the fun bit

Another thing for the mast step is to check it's all even, ours on 728 has been compressed on one of the sides so the mast might no actually be sitting straight on the boat.

Thanks Pete. This explains why I was wasting my time with 800 wet and dry.

Will you be taking some videos of the Oppie repairs?

Great video!! Thanks for this and check us out too for more laser sailing content.

Which gel do i use on a mk1 supernova sail number 519? Great video BTW

Thank you Pete for sharing your hands on experience.

Great series of videos, really helpful. Are you still running the Courses you mention? Thanks again Dave

I would love to know what the bonding paste is that you are using…I am working on repairing a severely delaminating laser hull

Do you have any links to the materials you use or is their a good kit I could buy online..

Hello West Country Boat Repairs, I have seen your past boat repair videos, they are super helpful to me. Thanks for this helpful video, I'll keep it in mind for when I next buy a sailing boat. I have recently started repairing/building boats with my first video being released today, you're more than welcome to have a look, possibly suggest how I could improve things? Thanks Tom

😴🙈😴😴😆🕎💕

Hi - thanks for your video, I'm just about to repair an old yellow laser from 1980! Any guidance on a likely close match gelcoat pigment?

Perfect Video - thank you very much!! I would attend one of your workshops immediately if I was in the UK. Fair winds from Germany

Thanks for this very imformative video demonstration. Can I ask, can an orbital sander be used for the first step wuth the 240 grit paper?

I've just started work on restoring my 1965 Sparrow class dinghy. This video is an invaluable companion. Thanks for producing this.

Excellent DIY wish you were in the states. Maybe you can offer a zoom class. Thank you

sanding not necessary - check out this guy's channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIGcoplsqK-DhaM

I really enjoyed this series of videos! Very helpful. Thanks for sharing!

Are these repair steps similar for a Mk2e supernova daggerboard

Great repair demo video. What is the green tape for?

Thanks for another really informative video. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Is the CIF cleaner abrasive to the boat?

Do you have the make of the circular cleaning brush ?
