geohan,

I can''t answer your questions concerning the Laser, but I just wanted to let you know that I appreciated your post. Wow! 76 years young, and still going strong! You certainly deserve the right to claim "senior privilege" for bragging rights! To a "youngster" (46 yrs.old) like me, your post is encouraging.As I get closer to retirement, I sometimes wonder how long I''ll be able to sail after I retire.I look forward to a long "close reach" as you all are doing. Fair winds to you!
