Probably safer now 0.5% chance you flip, die and, drown in winter. 5% chance you get run over by some drunk first year boater heading into Newport on their 40' SeaRay they just bought with their bonus check during summertime.

I used to race Lasers and 470s out of CBI in the early 80s. Probably could have raced into Nationals if stayed focused enough.
I've been contemplating the fishability of a 470 - plus I want my son to learn from the demands of sailing - lots of life lessons in small boat sailing. |
I used to race district 7 championships at BB race week in New bedford and Padanarum.. I remember wearing a vest with towels sewed into it to give me an additional 10 lbs of wt to hold down the laser ... I was only 155lbs and the "ideal build" when the wind was over 15 was 6' 5" and 180-200 lbs... Dave Perry and several others... and Moose McClintok who would carry a laser with one arm from his car to the launch location

John, my stepdad has an older flying Dutchman for sale if your looking for a father and son sled. I think he wants 500 for it.

I mostly sailed with fleet 413 in the winter- in the summer and fall i was busy with 420's at my local yacht club and high school sailing team...

NYC still does frostbiting, although at my size I was 'discouraged' from attempting for fear of sinking at the dock

Love this small boat talk of Dutchman's, and Scots, and 420/470/Larks/Lasers/2man Lasers, etc... Want severe club racing? N10s :rotf2: |
I owned 2 lasers.. One was a practice boat. The other was strictly for racing. I used to sail out to Brenton tower, flip my laser, climb up to the top of the tower and jump off... And swim back to my laser. :rotfl:

Newport yacht club uses turnabouts. |
Yes, it would have to be closer to Newport. anything in Wickford?
|
First Laser was 13719 and my second laser was in the 75000 series... my current one is in the 175,000 series.... my first one was named blondterror.. a nickname I got working in a boatyard in rowayton,CT I always thought the original ones made by performance sailcraft in Quebec were the stiffest hulls and driest deck/hull seams... I used to race against bruce kirby (laser designer) on tuesday nights off fish island in long island sound...
|
there is a company right at 114's start in Portsmouth that looks interesting
