Dear Laser Sailors,
A week or to back, I put up a question about Weather Helm, the responses I got were great, thanks heaps. Here's hoping some of you may have some tips on reaching.
Last Saturday the wind was about 15 to 20 knots and consistent. I sail in an area with big tides. The water surface was really choppy (wave faces up to 3 feet and steep). Basically I was out of control and got smashed down time and time again. Got the death rolls something terrible, seemed pulling up the centreboard made things even worse. Had the sail out almost 90 degree's.
Any clues?
Thanks
Fatboy
