Just got my first boat, Laser with full and radial set ups- I have taken it out three times in about 9mph wind with the full sail. I am content with my basic sailing skills, simply from being taught by my friend in the Caribbean a few months ago but would like to fine tune, and learn more about the fine adjustments:
When, and how much, do i adjust the
Cunningham, outhaul, and boom vang?
from what ive heard, you pull more tension on the vang when going upwind, and i experimented with that yesterday, but it seems to come loose very easily, loose as in lots of slack.
Thanks, I am definitely hooked, and have actually just talked to the Univ Oregon sailing program for next fall, as well as going to the lake everyday i dont have lacrosse practice.
