I've just started sailing a Laser. Now I've a question which possibly sounds a little bit strange:
How can I feel the transition from displacing to planing. Is it necessary to notice this transition? When I'm on a broad reach and there is a lot of wind I'm quite sure to plane. But when beating upwind I'm not sure to feel the difference. I suppose that at this transition I probably have to change my trim (e.g. sitting position. ...)
Thanks for any comment,
Markus
