This is straight from olympic gold medalist ben ainsley so you know this is quality information.
1) Weight as far back in the boat as far as possible to prevent nose-diving
2) Dagger board down
3) basically just hold on. if the boat is planning just head straight for the mark sheet in and...
that is probably the worst thing you could ever do. I mean it's bad enough to sit in our boat on land but to climb your mast that is just stupid. if the head instructor thinks otherwise he should be fired!!!
Have you ever seen a 29er with VOlvo on the side then the letters of a country on the bow. well i've seen a few lasers with that and i wanted to know where i could get one.
Generally i would say 170 lbs for a full rig sailor. i know some one who weighs about 135 who couldn't handle a full rig even in moderate wind. although to be honest he isn't the best sailor.
Me and a friend have decided to fit a laser with
1) an I14 Spinnaker
2) Trap
3) a rather intrically designed sheet and guy system
4) and wheels so we can just sail it right on to shore.
but naturally we don't want to use our own boats so does anybody have any spare parts or at least some...
3 years ago 31 people raced full rig at cork, 2 years ago 27 people, last year 22 people. i'm trying to get more people to go this year, or at least keep the number above 20 people. for those of you who don't know Cork is the Canadian Olympic Regatta of Kingston. it's in Kingston ontario...
#1 when i was rigging i forgot to put my battens in the sail and didn't realize it until i was well out on the water
#2 Actually thats it.

of course intensity sails are worth it they are 200$ and are a good substitute for a racing one which i'm sure you don't want to do, as far as racing with them goes, most local small (local) races would let you race but it's best to ask first.
