    How do you gauge your speed

    I fully agree with many others that optimal speed can be found by feel, listen etc. For for the persons who want to have numbers, I'm using a Timex Speed and Distance watch. An advantage of a watch is that it's easy to read on any position of your body in your Laser.

    Clew Tie Down - yeah right!

    Ok, will do below 3bf. But the fun of Lasersailing is sailing with 4bf or more...

    Agree, I keep doing it the capsize way. About the turtle, I use to sail in shallow waters (Holland) so I have a small round buoy in my mast to prevent turtling.

    What shackle are you using? I use a shackle with a slotted pin, that is easier then a threaded pin. May a snap shackle works even easier?

    [--Del---] I've haven't seen too many people able to tie knots before the boat falls away from head to wind. In that case, I think you need to go for a swim. [--Del---] May the Harken 433 Dinghy Clew Hook is a solution? Then there's no need for knots anymore...
