So I grew up sailing with my g-pa on a lake with a converted dingy with a sail make from fabric sugar bags. About 10 years ago I found a laser that my dad bought to keep at the lake property. This year I was fortunate enough to purchase property on the same lake and my dad gave me the laser. I've picked up my sailing and started to actually sail it for speed not, to hike it and flip it. I've fixed the incorrect rigging and now actually get some decent speed out of it.
Now for my question...... How the heck do you keep the main sheet from getting all tangled up in your feet, the hiking strap and on itself? The length of mine allows for the boom to extend 90 degrees for a run only so I don't have an excessive amount of rope. I was out today in gusts and the most challenging thing (ok maybe not the most) was keeping the sheet free to pay out as needed. Thanks guys, I've learned about from this sight...
