Rudder on Ebay but seems pricey for 2nd hand?

Probably above your budget:(

Good Spot Gonzo1.

Over budget for just the blade. Also in UK.

Well fight on

Yes thought it might be over your limit....did you ever think of going down the route of getting a donor boat for parts? Might be worth considering:)

2 boats on apolloduck at the moment for not bad money if you bargained them down a bit...I doubt if they would sell the foils on their own?

Hah. Spotted them too. ih ave emailed both of them. Would have gone for the full thing if i had seen them earlier.

Who knew a rudder and centerboard would be so hard to find!

You're right - I'd say you will looking a while for one, the Laser 3000 is the successor to the Laser2.

Both boats share the same daggerboard according to the below link

Interesting read...this guy was in a similar position to yourself - he got a tiller from a laser 1 and got it to fit the Laser 2 Stock!

Hi Ajs,

Not sure if you ever got sorted, but I spotted this while browsing Ebay.

A couple of chips taken out of it, but still repairable, he has other laser 2 parts for sale also....:cool:

Fair play. I have a bid in on the rudder. Still trying to find one!!!

Missing a kicking block too. This stuff is so hard to find.
