which laser to get
Hi,
I have been a pretty competitive 420 skipper around new england sailing 3 seasons a year and consistently place in at least the top quarter of my fleet (pretty good for the area's 420 competitiveness). I've been thinking about getting a laser but my compact build is making me question what type to get. I am 5'8 155lbs and am trying to decide whether to go for a fully or a radial. From my experience in 420 sailing, I think i'd rather be light for the boat than heavy (god damn 100lb girls buring my ass on lightwind days). I can hike, but will I be at a disadvantage to a 180lb full rig sailor in 12 knots of breeze?
