    Top Speed?

    I've heard the laser's top speed is about 12 knots. I learned this from a Tornado sailor, who also told me the top speed of his boat: 33 knots UPWIND!!!!!!!!!!!

    pointing

    well, i've never heard of too much cunningham bringing pointing down. from what (little) i know, the cunningham helps flatten the sail as well as bring the draft forward. the flatter a sail it is, the higher it can point. thats what i think. can anyone confirm?

    You should check your traveler; the tighter the traveler the higher you can point. Crank it!

    gybing

    I think the quick wrist snap is hand on the mainsheet (like normal) and just a quick tug, but not too much, of the sheet. This gets rid of any sag between the block at the end of the boom and the traveler block. I find it works nicely, and also helps bring the boom over quick.
