Sail Simulator 5. Not that old, very realistic. You can sail a Laser and also compete on line with other people. Worth a look at. Mucked about with it for about a week.

Most people I know use silicon, shapeing it so its smooth and follows the hull. Did mine 2 seasons ago and still ok.

Has anyone had experience sailing in a fleet with big boats (20-30 ft’s). Coming into the leeward mark they seem to make crazy sideways bow waves that death roll me. Should I put my centreboard down? Just go really really wide and reach to mark?? Vang all the way off?

Absolutely not. But it is fun and they have done quite a good job of simulating the way a Laser sails. The boats quite responsive to Vang and other settings and behaves in waves in a similar fashion to the real thing. It would make a good tool to help someone get their head around the...

Go to the address below, download the file at the bottom of the screen and run it. I think it runs on a Mac but not sure. http://www.sailsimulator.com/en/support/faq

OK, been messing around with it a bit. Final opinion is... Its way 2 easy to death roll, The boat always tips back over when you right it after a capsize The combination of these two things will make you angry and stop enjoying life

Just got a copy of a game called Sail Simulator 5. You can sail a Laser in it. Not a bad game tho I think the Laser in the game may be a little 2 easy 2 death roll.

My bad, thought they were the same thing

Shatty was annoying. He rubbed people up the wrong way and ruined threads. I congratulate the Moderators for what they did and am glad that they have drawn that line in the sand. If we are all so worked up about this then should we start up a “Bring Back Shatty” thread with a vote on it?? Know...

Is it me or does every topic recently seem to revolve around Shattys inflated sense of self worth. You very opinionated mate, to the point of annoyance. If you were in Aussie you would get told to pull your head in. This is a forum for discussion about THE LASER SAILBOAT not a forum for how...

No it's not me (lol):D Will never ever ever be in an ad for Lasers. In fact people I know have decided not to buy a Laser after watching me sail. Serious about the twin thing tho.

Hey the guy in this ad (the one on the left) looks just like me. Could be my twin. Will offer a reward 2 anyone who can tell me who it is. ps. The reward may be less tangible then more traditional one's

Could not of said it better. Depends on ability. If you are new to Lasers then you will trash your boat.

Dunno if it’s sarcasm Shatty, Just think you should relax on pushing your opinion on everyone else. A forum is here for open friendly discussion. You need to chill a bit bro... This is intended in the nicest way possible, and am sure you great at stuff. I truly respect and read your...

9mm a bit big hey, if you worried about your hands get 8mm and put it thru a washing machine on a hot cycle 3 or 4 times. It will lose its wax feel and fluff up a bit. Thinner main sheet runs better and will not hook up on a gybe as much, but it sucks in heavy air. I have started using thin...

How much experiance on a laser have you got Shatty007?? "I wouldn't advocate sailing to get fit, either. I realise the Laser is a physical boat, having sailed one a couple times myself (Laser 1, Standard Rig), which is why I would advocate being strong as hell to get the best out of yourself."

I think the new blocks are great: They look good, They dont gum up with sand and salt and freeze, And most important with the main sheeet running better i've found that it doesn't get snagged on the transom when you gybe as much. Since iv'e added them i almost never give it the old "Laser...

They look cool, will you still need to use a elastic line? Whats with all this new stuff coming out? Getting hard to keep up

The name of this thread seems to change as much as the opinion's in it? Admin??

Re: Big Job Didn't want to be negative hey? At least he's giving it a go. Young guy with kinda the right idea.
