Does anyone know if there are parts available for the original Laser 28 clutch.  Manufacturer?  Or do we just replace when they break...busted the handle of one tonight.

I actually replaced all 4 of the double clutches over the past 2 winters and have the old ones at the house, complete with handles. Give me a holler! - bill

If you have the spinlock clutches then you can still buy parts as well as replacement bolt on clutches using the same holes.

I really doubt they are Spinlock.  At a glance I could not find the manufacturers name on the clutch.  They look really old....they slip.  It doesn't look like Spinlock design that I have seen.  I suspect Bill has what I need to fix it.

Thanks,

A few of the very early boats used Easylock rope clutches with red and green handles.

Some parts are available here

Thanks Bill L.  Upon researching antique spinlock parts, I find that I probably do have spinlock clutches.  I'm just not experienced (read old) enough to recognize past designs. Big smile I think if Bill R. has a handle laying around in his garage, I'll be good.  Thanks again,

  Ron

Mark at Sailing Services, (305) 758-1074, will know exactly what part you want. I've purchased several from him over the years. He often sails on my boat so he knows L28's pretty well.
