I actually bought the plans earlier in the year with the idea of building one next winter, but even with potential repairs this will still cost less than half the cost of building it.
plan to stick to the inner harbour till I remember how to sail , then slowly stretch out from Kawau to Waiheke as my boy gets older.

I imagine I would be carrying the lunch if you plan to go anyway with on a laser

yep you carry the lunch for sure or the sammys are goin to the bottom . where in the inner habour you thinking . i have great launching at birkenhead wharf near me . youll get more confidence also sailing with others first time out . i did it 2 weeks back after 12 years out of the water and did ok -tipped once

I'm half way round the harbour. Will probably set off from tat north peninsula.
I will need to have a good look at the rig the guys put on it though, I suspect it's a poor choice for the boat, and will risk fate and give her a name change.

Rename it "YPH" Barefoot. That way you can say to your mates that you took the YPH (wife) sailing on the weekend and not have to worry about being called a bloody liar.
