well i don't think you can complain at all. if you sail a laser Florida is the place to be eheheheh. Antonio

It;s a medium terms project (about 18 months from now) for a one-design regatta. It's gonna be in Baja California Mexico and we will award very cool prizes. I have chosen the laser on account of its overwhelming popularity. It's meant to be a sailor's event, for people who like to spend time...

well, stay tuned guys and hopelly soon I'll give you a good reason to head to mexico. Antonio

Al, Ok, this is off topic and most likely unfair, but today here is a day you won't believe it. Sparkling blue water, 80 degrees, waves about 2 feet, steady 15 knows breeze. I look out the window and feel like a fool for being seated at my computer. In Ensenada we have 300+ good sailing...

I agree too, best give out good weather information and clear guidelines and have people decide themselves if they are willing to sail or not. Antonio

wind conditions here (Baja California - Mexico) are very steady, wind is light, somewhat shifty near the coast and gets pretty steady, with little gusts one mile offshore, usually between 15-20 knots with waves average of 3-4 feet up to 6 feet max. I think upwind a well sailed radial should do...

hi Michelle, thanks for the response I personallly agree with you 100%, nothing's cooler than one design racing, anything else is just a compromise. I also believe in giving people otions and let them decide what is better, within certain basic rules. Yet, if is there a way to make things...

hi Michelle, thanks for your useful tips. Many good details together make a big difference and nothing is better than firsthand experience. Antonio

thanks Janet, this is getting really interesting. by the way, the pages you suggested are very cool. Antonio

that's what I thought by logic, but it's always better to ask. Antonio

hi Janet, interesting point. I'm admitedly not a proficient laser sailor so I hope some one has first hand information about the speed factor. Antonio

there are two main reasons for my question: 1- plain curiosity 2- I'd like to set up a regatta to be sailed in a popular and affordable one -design (which of course is laser) and open to everybody regardless from gender, origin and yacht club/federation affiliation. So the fact that a mean to...

thanks for the feedback. let people choose would be ok, but a radial would be comparatively slower than a standard. Forgetting for a moment about ILCA rules, what means would help women or lightweight sailors to equalize the situation? extra weight bags, maybe allow some extra gear? let's...
