    Roll Tacking and My Legs

    haha ya role tacking is huge. the best thing you can do is go out with 2 lasers and just get the leeward boat to try to pass the windward boat and just have a tacking dual for as long as you can hold up! or tack on the wistle or some. when you get it perfect youl see! i just cant get the tiller...
