Well if your going out on a surfboard, sorry laser, then your gonna get wet whether you stay in it or not.
just had a great few hours sailing the inner habour . not loads of wind but very pleasurable sharing my beat with some very old classic yachts racing- thank goodness some still appreciate beautiful things from the early years! Some of the rigging was most interesting-this photo wasn't today but im sure it was the same yachts

Boat is now at my place.
Apparently the sail and rig on it is off a 16' optimist that someone sailed for a season! I have no idea why someone would upsize an opti 100%
Anyway the setup functions but is a bit of a buggers muddle, so think I will try sort out a few issues before taking it for a spin.
El B feel like some experimental chaos in a few weekends time?
I have figured out the problem with the current sail rig and will be fixing it this weekend, then I need some ballast and some insanity to sail it with sprit only, no boom.
You heavy enough
You insane enough
You keen?

since starting this post I am now with my 5th sailing dinghy haha .After buying the Europe and the other thing I got a set of lasers on a trailer and then sold the first two .The lasers were great especially having two so I could sail with a friend buta flash newer boat made of plastic turned up and I wanted it so purchased it .
Topper topaz Uno with a race sail and small head sail . I can take one other smaller person on this boat unlike the lasers which really were a one person boat
Here are a few shots of the boat and some taking the ex wife for a spin -tried to toss her out in the harbour and took one to the chops for my efforts .
Im still ;looking for others to sail with if your out there ????? let me know for a bit of harbour exploration

Nice.
I sold my Phase 2 dinghy to buy a rifle... a Remington of things.
Welcome to Sako club.
am i mistaken or did the kayakers go past you?
truth was that day we were struggling with a lack of wind and an out going tide -still it was pleasant !!
I had a phase two for years -great boat and a few still around but all around mid to late twentys so all show a bit of wear but still massively enjoyable to sail with a friend .
Sailing for me is another form of meditation especially on a sunny Auckland day on the Auckland harbour
