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...

let's say I want to set up a laser regatta with just one class with both genders competing together and yet offer equal opportunities to win to both males and females. better shrink big guys in a radial or have women to deal with a standard? if I choose the standard, is there a way to equalize...

by the way I have another question about the laser formula and having women and men racing together but I think it's better to start a new thread

thanks everyone for the tips. I too think that considering the real interest of the sailors is the organizer's first job.

hi, I'm going to organize a Laser regatta in Mexico and we expect it to be very crowded. I'd like to hear tips and feedback from people who have either raced in or organized crowded one design regattas. best.
