22/02/12 - The breezometer at the boatyard this morning is spinning like a spinny thing on a spinny day. It's certainly breezy. As well as the breeze it is raining hard too and will more than likely continue this way until later in the day when the wind might die down a bit.

RC Laser Sails

RC Laser in a Bag

So what will I recieve when I order my boat?

The RC Laser and its component parts have been designed to fit neatly into a bag which means everything you need for a days sailing is in one place which not only keeps things neat and tidy, but it also means that your whole boat including rigs can be placed in the boot of your car or on the back seat.

The bag itself is much like the bag you'd get for a rudder and daggerboard for a full size Laser dinghy. It is well made and padded in the right places to protect your boat and gear.

So, here it is, the bag itself and how to make everything fit!

Your bag as delivered

What the sections are for

All of this WILL fit in the bag with ease, trust me!

Sails go under the flap. You'll see that the A sail doesn't quite fit, I'll explain that later!

Keel and Rudder fit in the section at the right hand side of the bag, note the velcro to keep the keel in place.

Hull in the bag, we are getting there!

Your spares can be placed in the velcro pocket at the rear of the hull

The transmitter fits neatly under the flap, over the spares pocket. Once in place the top of the A sail can be draped over the top of the transmitter. Not an ideal solution, however a good way to stow your sail to get it to the lake!

And there we have it, everything in the bag, there isn't a photo of the masts, however they lay along the crease of the bag, and you'll easily fit all four masts in there.

This was photographed with an old style bag, there have been some modifications made, but the principle remains the same!

Park & Launch a go go!

Well we have 5 weeks until we crank up our newly fettled tractors for the 2012 Park & Launch season. We are hoping that the season will bring some great boating weather too so that everyone can get out on their boats more than last season. If you still haven't seen the light and you are getting your boat launched elsewhere, give us a call or drop us an email and we'll get you booked on to the yard for 2012. Take a look at our Park & Launch page for more details

Happy Valentines Day!

As well as being a day for buying pointless rubbish for your loved one and generally being too soppy for your own good today will be remembered as the day we launched our For Sale page on the website.

It's a pretty self explanatory page, you want to sell something down here in Abersoch and we can advertise it for you. We'll probably have more success advertising boaty type stuff, but if you need to sell you patio heater or even a bbq, send us some details and we'll stick it on the page of you!

A Boatshow, of sorts!

Having had some success with the RC Lasers Tim has now taken it upon himself to promote the class to a wider audience. With this in mind Tim and his bucket of enthusiasm will be helping out on the MYA stand at The Dinghy Show at Ally Pally on 3rd & 4th March.

The MYA is much like the RYA but for model yachts and has over 2000 members in more than 100 clubs accross the UK. We hope to promote not only the RC Laser that we love so much, but also the other classes sailed under the MYA umbrella. If you're in town pop along and say hello!
