How to Rig a Laser

Brilliant and makes me want to change all my colour fading tired sheeting on my 1985 laser.
🎉

never been here before but, so clearly explained videos by literate people.. refeshing

I always thought the Laser was purpose built with a 1-piece mast
... I got into sailing via a Sunfish and AMC ( I think ) developed and sold an upgrade kit to take it close to a Laser .. 2-piece anodized aluminum mast and an anodized boom, luff sleeve sail with battens, boom vang, traveller. if I recall, one of the first steps rigging it was running a line from deck up through a pulley at the masthead and back down to the deck.

Sweet video thanks for posting!

I asked Google a vague physics question about photonic lasers, & this is what she gave me.

I think ropework is awesome, so I kept watching. I had no idea what you were doing, & 90% of your jargon is foreign to me.

Which of those hardware accessories might be useful for suspending a human safely & dynamically? (think marionette)

After watching this, I feel my brain is more pretzelized, lol.

How is that traveler gonna work

This is a nice clean race set up , but if you and adult and just casually sailing the boat you won't need all the extra purchase systems . Good video

If you already know how to do it, good summary. The rest of us who watch to learn, screw us

The most unclear instruction video in human history.

hah nice song choice for the intro, I get it

Hi! Isn't it better to tie a bowline to the boom block instead of a figure eight?

This looks like 4:1 on the outhaul, but I thought 6:1 was more common for racing? Also, the cascade on the cunningham is 8:1 vs 10:1, right?

Hmm, your mast retainer seems to have some slack in it. looks like if you turtle the mast may slide out a little but not completely out if the downhaul and outhaul were not completely on. Would probably slide out several inches until the shock cord that is run through the retainer bowline gets caught up in that little eye. Just my observation. Thanks for the video

Can i have all the knots names please

hopefully this will help me for sailing camp lol

have a look at my channel if you read this :)

can you make a whole list of all of the parts you need?

THANKS! I started sailing with a very shabby Laser in a sailing club. Really NOTHING was good about the rig. Nothing fitted or it was actually missing. As if the boat was used as a spare parts warehouse by other members. When I see your video with all the rigging parts, which arent excisting currently on the boat, I can understand now how the Laser is rigged properly. Thank you a lot for your video. I think you explained me more in 7 minutes than my sailing club in 2 years. I'm a little angry about that with my sailing club. It seems like I have much to talk to change something... !

Very helpful ! Thank You!!

The video explains cunningham setup with single blocks, but most of the video shows the cunningham rigged with double blocks. Is there enough line in the kit for a double block setup?

💕

Great video, thanks!

Lost me at the beginning 😭

That's a bit more complicated than my Sunfish. Lol

I don't even own/sail lasers. I'm just watching this to see how amazing they are.

very helpful for a beginner

Thanks :)

Which units are the rope length? Foot?

what size blocks for the cunningham

Incredibly complicated! Dang, I was thinking about getting an older laser for fun sailing, not racing. Now I'm thinking twice.

how much did everthing cost you . as it is all new would 6000 be about right also nice video i have a laser . i already knew how to rig it but i just thought watching this would be interesting which it was 😊
