You can tow lasers rather quickly if you measure the towing line so that the boat is on a "uphill" of the wave the tower creates. This place is quite stable... I have towed 6 lasers driving as fast as the boat could... picturse attached:D

I'm also with CIndy. I also think that if you attach a block, theres not enough friction so the adjustment doesn't hold (especially if your heavyweighted) :rolleyes: .

Here you can find a few pictures of cartopping a laser. Unfortunately the instructions are in Finnish. http://www.saillaser.fi/opasuusilaseristi.htm

You must'nt forget to yous your body... You must sit on the middle so you can torque your body on winward or leeward if needed. Simultaneusly rightly used body, sheet and tiller will avoid the deathroll... :D

This roll ist better in high wind conditions. If you slide into the boat, the the wind that blows capsizes it again, so this "california roll" is much faster.

Hi, we have been sailing at 2 degrees celsius (~35 degrees fahrenheit) and 30 knots. The only places where I get cold was fingers and toes. The problems when the temperature goes to down is that your ropes and the deck freezes so you can't do any trim adjusting...:mad: Henri...

Hi, the bigger guy (me) weights approx. 93 kg and the littleone with radial about 67 kilograms. The windspeed was'nt the problem, it was the very difficult chop... Here is antoher clip where I' sailing a radial in a 15 m/s wind (~30 knots) www.saillaser.fi/radialkeli.wmv Henri
