i have never sailed a windward leeward course in a laser
the races at the North Americans, CORK, Canadian Youth Champs, were all trapezoids. Some of the smaller regattas use triangles because they're easier to set, but i have never sailed windward/leeward.
i want to sail a laser vortex, those things are insane

unless you're an official olympic broadcaster you can not post video of the olympics on a website.
that's why sailing.org and also ussailing can't show any sailing.

i use cunningham on starboard for one reason.
at the start your outhaul is set for the upwind, you don't need to change it.
your cunningham is usually totally off to accelerate off the line.
therefore keeping it on the starboard side allows you to adjust it.

hulls in that time period were made like tanks.
you can't even put a hole in it using the claw end of a hammer.
it is going to weigh a lot more.
they started getting lighter i believe in the late 80's
The radial by design is thinner aluminum than a fullrig. This bendy bottom section is what makes the radial so different than a fullrig.
The most important thing to ensure you don't bend your mast is always let off your vang before you round the windward.
Also, just because you have a...
tom is the funniest person on these forums. I enjoy laughing at his immature ways. He is just so manly using an 6:1 outhaul instead of an 8:1.
and of course if ben ainslie and all the olympic sailors are using it. it's gotta be the only way to do it.
