Count me and a few other junior sailors in! Is this part of TSA?

Here's a good video of laser light air sailing http://youtube.com/watch?v=NKJcTgUmHcc&mode=related&search= type in: LASER RACING LEEWARD ROUNDING LASER SAILBOAT Those all turn up good results...

You must do a few things to get a proper leeward mark rounding. first, PRACTICE! it took me weeks of practice of over and over again to get it perfect. If there is a gybe mark in your course, there is no need to gybe at the mark, therefore you always want to head a little higher than the mark...

What's the weather like? It may not be this, but if it is cold, you might have a problem getting it in. You shouldn't but there's always that possibility. Why do you need teflon tape? It's fine without it.

I have the boots and strap system, but a friend of mine has the barefoot boots, and I plan on ordering some this next week. The interlocking material is a definite plus and it helps a TON! I love Zhik products, if only their life jackets were legal.....

Also, a lighter mainsheet helps. Just tried a new one today and it helped bigtime! However, it was a LOT harder to grip,but it was a lot better on not getting caught up.

I did a blue and white job on my sunfish use blue 3m tape!

quick question...with this, going head to wind and luffing will be a problem now won't it

I think it's a pretty good idea. It would really be useful in Lake Sailing, but not for anyone in my area. I definitely want to see the finished product though.

And, the price is not that much less than the class legal system; so why not go with it?

I use the system as well as most other radial sailors in Texas. I like it a lot, it gives a solid no-slip grip.

I just got in from sailing a full rig at 30.1 knots ( as it said on our weather guages) I'm 175lbs and I could NOT keep it down. I capsized about 10 times and ended up loosing 2 battens. I'd say 25 knots is the limit without reefing the main.

your boat is a 1988 what else do you you mean by sail number?? it is the number registered with the ILCA

Hey there. I too am 15 and I sail lasers at the CCYC. We have a Laser racing team. And questions, just PM me. What high school are you at?

And also, when sailing anywhere, windward heel and no vang and cunningham are essential.

here it is, https://www.apsltd.com/Tree/d90000/e88042.asp its on the Laser page. But I'll go ahead and get the 48 inch one then. Thanks!

Hi! I'm about to order my ACME FATSO 54'' carbon tiller extension, but i wasnt sure if it would be too long? They have a 48'' also, which would be better for a full rigged laser?

yeah, just leave the bow on the dock still, I do it alll the time. then, just sit on the dock and hang your feet in the cockpit, trim in, and plop the rest of you in as the boat takes off!

it's all here! http://www.sunfishclass.org/tips/gelcoat.htm Good luck, Sef

another thing to do is try to roll tack it...I live in Corpus Christi Tx, and we have about 15 mph on a calm day. We have wind ALL THE TIME. You can either power through the tack by triming the main in, or you can depower a little and slowly roll through the tack staying on the old windward...
