Hi,
sadly the bits came with one of those but the timber down the centreline of the floor is completly rotten, so I thought sell off the mast etc to raise funds for other projects, if anyone is interested they can have the lot for £50 including a decent centreboard

Cost about £20 and still lasting 6 winters later, just make sure the hull is dry ...

Hi,

Hi, thanks for all the advice but the best solution remains the plastic trolley support, all I have to do is find one!
Steve

The laser trolley comes with a textured plastic coating on top that helps the boat slide on and off, I could use some carpet or similar instead but that stays wet and over time can result in osmosis bubbles forming

Hi All, bit of help required here please, I need to get hold of the fibreglass back end of a plastic laser trolley.
