Have tried most of the lines, had lots of tangles with Mafioli and then recommended to try the Rooster 6mm mainsheet.

Laser sailor and he suggested I simply tie my Laser down to its dolly and then begin hiking from the toe straps holding the mainsheet as if you are on the...
I sail a full rig and have not had a problem with too many top sections breaking. I feel that the critical factor is not releasing enough vang tension before rounding the top mark. I like to ease it as soon as I am on the layline, but this is not always easy. Hope this helps.
Good reply AAHF.This is exactly what happens, you stall out the top of the sail with too much vang tension using the new system (impossible to do this with the old system). You still need enough power to sail fast in heavy winds, vang tension will vary with the weight of the sailor (more vang...
Re: laser sailing in keeps stalling in heavy wind
More cuuningham tension is required. The eye of the cunningham should touch the top of the boom to open up the top section of the sail and reduce power . Dump main in the gusts, also it is possible to have too much vang tension with the new...
