i have never sailed a windward leeward course in a laser the races at the North Americans, CORK, Canadian Youth Champs, were all trapezoids. Some of the smaller regattas use triangles because they're easier to set, but i have never sailed windward/leeward.

hello, i am using a dual monitor computer right now, i can now monitor twice as much sailing related websites. i am da coolest kid in school.

i want to sail a laser vortex, those things are insane http://www.lasersailing.com/uk/boats/vortex/?i=24b2c14eb778c1868cf9feb1ce1617ac nothing like a single person trapeze cat

unless you're an official olympic broadcaster you can not post video of the olympics on a website. that's why sailing.org and also ussailing can't show any sailing. CBC (canadian broadcasting corporation) will hopefully show some sailing tommorow since we will hopefully win a medal, unless...

yo goonie, who are you, and where are you from. ah yes, the mullet time, quite unusual pants you wear sailing. was it just me or was the fleet at cork incredibly tough?

the money you would lose in buying such a device would be nothing compared to the amoutn of mclube you have to currently use.

put an inspection port infront of the mast and at the back put the boat on the roof of your car, with as much space as possible between it and the roof. if you're german, go on the autobahn and go as fast as you can if you aren't, just drive on the highways for a while.

neatly coil up the jib and main halyards and wedge them into the diamonds the tack is tied down to the boom with a simple piece of line

how disrespectful, misquoting someone's name it's heinz gebauer

--------------- but this would change the essential shape, characteristics, AND function of the original and is in no way legal.

i have seen both ways. i use cunningham on starboard for one reason. at the start your outhaul is set for the upwind, you don't need to change it. your cunningham is usually totally off to accelerate off the line. therefore keeping it on the starboard side allows you to adjust it. also...

hulls in that time period were made like tanks. you can't even put a hole in it using the claw end of a hammer. it is going to weigh a lot more. they started getting lighter i believe in the late 80's

What do you need that fogh marine doesn't have? They'll order Fredricksen blocks, and you can get shrink tubing anywhere.

The radial by design is thinner aluminum than a fullrig. This bendy bottom section is what makes the radial so different than a fullrig. The most important thing to ensure you don't bend your mast is always let off your vang before you round the windward. Also, just because you have a...

tom is the funniest person on these forums. I enjoy laughing at his immature ways. He is just so manly using an 6:1 outhaul instead of an 8:1. and of course if ben ainslie and all the olympic sailors are using it. it's gotta be the only way to do it.

I must disagree, Laser II's are not docile tame domesticated animals next to the laser. They are mean little animals that don't like to co-operate, and must be forced to do what you want, (along with your crew). Beam reaching a LaserII in 20 knots with a 180 pound crew fully flat on trapeze...

Not to have a grudge match, but Tom is a whinny little Australian boy, who obviously hasn't taken many sciences in school, and sails 4.7's against 12 year olds and is happy that he won.

Toronto has Fogh Marine, over priced like all stores.

too bad it isn't as cheap as cheap aftershave

You start with a lower number and then move up (1200 would be high enough). Depending on how bad your hull is i'd start with 400 or 600, and move up from there. There are some good articles on drlaser.org about this.
