Hey everyone,
I'm a sailor down in boston MA and frequently sail. I have just started getting into laser sailing and its amazing! But when im sailing on a "red" flag day(high wind)[close hauled] I start to heel over far! I hike out as hard as I can but I cant really keep the boat flat It's really hard to keep the sail in far without constantly going over or just completely losing my speed... (I weigh about 160) My bud's say I should not be having this problem . Anyway, If anyone could help me out on my Q that would be great or just giving me a link to a different site
Thnx
