 Special Instructions

The Laser is one of the most popular dinghies ever designed. It is simple, fast, and responsive. Jericho has an active Laser fleet, with many tremendous sailors to learn from.

The masts and booms are stored in the tubes next to each hull. The
lock is opened with a key which hangs in the clubroom. Please return the key to its spot after you unlock the tube for the spars you are using. There are two Laser sail bags stored in the clubroom, hanging on the south wall. Each mainsail includes three battens. Two main sheets are directly above the sail bags. There is also a smaller M-rig sail available (a good option for smaller sailors or big winds) in a yellow sail bag. You will need the mast-top marked M-rig which is stored in the club room in the southeast corner.

Rudders and dagger boards are stored in a rack against the south wall of the club room.

When returning from sailing, please ensure that all equipment and the hulls are thoroughly rinsed free of saltwater and sand before storing. The sails should be dry and folded before being placed into the bag and stored in the club room.
