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.
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.

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.

May the Harken 433 Dinghy Clew Hook is a solution? Then there's no need for knots anymore...
