I'm looking at an old 14' Laser, from the early 1970's. It has no sail, no trailer,
needs some work on the mast step, needs some missing fittings, and is real dirty. The center board is cracked in half. It hasn't been in the water for about 15 years, before that was sailed a little in the Pacific ocean. The hull has a small patch in one place, probably needs to be redone. The mast (2 pieces) and the boom look ok. It's located in the Los Angeles area. Can someone tell me what I should pay for this boat and what else I should be checking. Thanks, jc |

The short answer...Free.
Sounds like you're hauling away someone's garbage. I haven't sailed a Laser in quite some time, but my advice would be to pick up a LayLine catalogue (or similar) and figure out the cost of all the parts it's going to take to even get the thing sailable. Then compare to other used Lasers in your area and the cost of a new boat. I suspect that even if you only paid a few hundred buck for the boat, you'll be over a grand by the time you get it going, plus all the manual labor etc and that's for what, a beat-up 35 year old boat that's probably soft and heavy. sm |
