A friend of mine just showed me a writeup on the Laser 28 that appears in The Complete Book of Sailboat Buying, Volume II. It pretty much gives the entire history of the boat including areas such a manufacturing process, resins, sails, ratings, weak points, and strong points. It looks to be a good and yet fair writeup. The article is about ten pages. There are inexpensive used copies on the Internet.

I found a copy of that book and scanned the article to a PDF. I tried to attach it to the message board without success.

Hello Chris,

It looks like the book was published in 1987 and is out of print so passing it on should not be a big deal. I have scanned it also as JPEG's. If anyone would like a copy e-mail me at mailto:wmabrock@msn.com">wmabrock@msn.com. I found it well worth reading.
