We’re pleased to announce that we’re the Western North America Distributor for RS Sailboats!
(that’s a mouthful!)
Basically, this means we’ll be supplying RS Boats to dealers and programs throughout the west!
We’ve sold the RS boats for many years, but we will now be bringing them in direct from the factory in the U.K.
Several programs have already signed on to buy Teras and Fevas for youth sailing
Some Canadian programs have started fleets of RS500s as well.
We’ve got two customers who pre-ordered the new RS100
The RS Feva is one of our most popular boats that we sell.

The Laser Cockpit Auto-Bailer has always been a sore subject for Laser sailors everywhere. When new, the bailer functions very well, pulling water quickly out of the Laser cockpit. Over time though, the little o-rings inside the bailer break down and stop working, leaving the bailer chute constantly open and dragging in the water. That problem, finally, is over: Auto-Bailer Springs
It may not look like much, but this $9 upgrade could be the best money spent on the Laser all season!
The o-rings don’t work very well because they are not designed to be stretched and relaxed time and again. They break down quickly and then the bailer is non-functional. Springs however, are designed and built exactly for this task.
Installation of the new bailer springs is easy, with the springs color coded for port and starboard sides. Longer lasting, smoother action and a part purpose built for the job!

Well, 2010 has been rocking so far and it’s not sailing season until we’re rolling up and down I-5 too.
We hit Laser Mid-Winters West last weekend in Richmond, CA. From there we went to Fresno, CA and delivered a new RS Vision.
After that a stop in Alameda to drop off a Bladerider. 1800miles in 4 days….
Loaded up and ready to hit the road at 7am! Laser on top, Vision on a flatbed trailer, moth on top. Dollies, spars and blade bags in the back.
Some of the boats at Cal Sailing Club – what a wild and fun place!
Visited Cal Sailing Club on a beautiful, sunny if light wind day. Crane launching the Vision (a first for me) and off they went!
Two unnamed (well, we know their names, but you know…) individuals enjoying a windless hour on SF Bay. This is a guy skiing on a LASER CENTERBOARD. Seriously!
A customer on the maiden voyage of their new RS Vision – deep in the central valley of California!
