Amen brother and I bet we have as much fun or more.

Your exactly right, old class sails, or any old sails dont point. New practice sails give me immediate pointing ability.

Well said Captain.

Thanks for all the feed back. After sailing j22 j24 buc snipes ans some big boats a few ago, im very happy to be sailing in a "club" atmosphere here in CO. We can get 20+ lasers on Thur night. I have been promoting lots of boats, good competition which we have accomplished. Practice sails rock.

Well mainly because of the cost. For most of are racing are local clubs have no problem using these sails unless its a sanctioned laser reggata.

Need a good video and any tips for placing numbers on new practice sail.

Go out, have fun and get wet, iv been sailingbfor 50 years, bought a laser 3 years ago and learning all over again.

You guys are crazy, and that is why I love Laser sailors.

On the other hand, what you will learn, the pride in your accomplishments and memories will be priiceless. I say go for it....

I sailed a 470 solo on the trap when I was young but I could never articulate what I was doing better than was already said. There is a one man skiff, "solo skiff." Check out info blogs etc you may find some additional info but what has been said is pretty dam good.

Great video, I learn more everytime I view this video, my question is why does the sailor change his weight for and aft. I dont see a change in the wave pattern that would be my simple explanation.

Thanks for the pictures, when the time comes to do mine I will no how it should look.

Goal to work towards, its a tough crowd.

You just cant go wrong with the laser. Look for a boat that has both standered and radial. You will have a solid goalmto work towards, the standard. If it blows go down to the radial. Learning to sail a laser competitively is a long learning curve that you can work on untill your 80, God...

Place inspecton port than mast step repair in the search box and you will find everything you need without hearing a peep from anyone. Good luck, sail fast, and take chances.

Great pix wish I was there

Well said Don, in addition, I am booking a week at La Cruz in Mexico this spring. Im sure I will learn a lot and have a blast, hopefully upon my return be able to handle 20kt both up and down wind.

Oh brother you are preaching to the whole dam church...its really very simple, although much harder to accomplish wiith the old set up. You nail the Cunningham and outhaul hard enough that you think they will break. Then put enough vang on that when you tack you have difficulty getting under the...

Leech tension = point. A buddy sails an older laser, block to block, heavy vang and points 5 deg higher. He has also sailed and won on this boat for 20 years. He eats my lunch to weather. So much to learn...

I have been using this technique for about two weeks and it works very well. Still working on down wind in breeze, not my strongest point of sail. I flipped 6 times last week, I got the michael Phelps award for the night. Very sore the next day but had a blast.
