head to wind? ok but right when the boom or sail comes across you role it over a little and flatten. is it that hard?! iv done it like a thousand times it might be comfusing to read or some.
i heard there was volvo ocean race stuff on national geographic!! sounded kind of odd but that would be cool! hey 49208 whats that t2p.tv thing all about?
ok... for the outhaul.. theres 2 different kind of lines. spectra which is the load line goes through the gromet on the sail and along the boom. the other line which can be anything thin and strong with a cover. make sure all of those lines dont stretch at all. i think they use 5 mm sprintline...
are you talking about all the upgrades? expensive but if you want to be competative in heavy air those extra advantages are GREAT! i would totaly get them. or just get a new laser like i did and it comes with it! that cost a little more though but about the second question go to www.apsltd.com...

ya but there reallllllllly fast and fun! i got out on an A scow to one of the newest ones on minnetonka... victory. amazing. and how can you not like the lines of a scow it just looks so fast!
ok right when the boom comes across you want to jump to the leeward side of the boat to make it role. but the idea of a role tack is to make it really smooth and fast so dont make any uneeded movements and stuff. the reason you want to jump down there is to role it fast and then go to the high...
