What should be my course of action if something on a supplied boat breaks? Last weekend, in a friendly fleet race (supplied boats) one of the traveller fairleads broke on my boat immediately after the start. This had me wondering what I should have done had this been in a competitive ranking...

Wow. Just wow.

Yeah. Unstepping the mast is pretty much the only option. What I do when I know I'm going out the next day is unstep the mast, take out the battens and roll the sail around the mast. Leave the mainsheet and outhaul on the boom.That way, all I need to do the next day is insert the battens, step...

I've been out of the sailing scene for a long time now. Had to quit due to an injury and then moved to a landlocked area. Now that I'm back on the coast, I'm looking to start sailing again. Here's the problem, I'm physically sound, except my flexibility has gone down the drain, for example when...

All I ask is WHY????

too good

you're said to head up when going froma run to a reach or from a reach to a beat. you're said to bear away when going from a beat to a reach or from a reach to a run.

i use a hot knife similar to the one shown in the link below http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360077510722&cguid=124c45b211f0a0e202b0d520ffd48a54 it has two LEDs at the end as well which help a lot especially since most of my line handling and rig preparation takes place in a...

thanx people. maybe i was just freaking out. but the thing is i have to prepare for the committee debating sessions as well and that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Okay people I have a model UN coming up in which my team's representing Syria. We have an event called the global village in which each team sets up a stall in which they represent their country's history and culture. The gloal village is on friday and i have no ideas whatsoever about what to do...

everyone post your final rankings in leg1 and current rankings of leg2.

oneillt90 i sent u a message on virtual VOR. and guys we need more ppl in the group. laser sailors are the biggest chunk of the sailing population.

I am playing the game and am currently ranked 34001th :o. But i can't seem to find the group you mentioned.

also in the video the bow seems to be riding the chop pretty well. is the load particularly light or are you sitting way too far back??? all in all i really love the idea.:)

alright people. i have a proposal here. how about we make a group of TLF members on facebook. seeing that we have 8800 members it should be a pretty big group. it will just make us laserites into one big community. and a pretty big community by facebook standards. hope the admins take action...

wow. you got a nice vessel made oit of your laser there. goes to show what a great the thing the laser is. although i am thinking what would happen if you capsized.:eek:

nice job mano

does anybody know where i can get laser 4.7 class rules. and can i buy sail numbers online. i mean the sail numbers issued by the ILCA. :)

thanks for the reply fat-n-old but the thing is that i am pretty good at spotting windshifts and some of the senior sailors at my club told me that my problem was that i didn't have enough of a belly in the sail so i was pointing higher but was slowing down due to the chop. i just wanted a...

My question is whether anyone of you has a rule of thumb for outhaul and kicker adjustment because when i get the adjustment right(which happens seldom) I come first with a huge lead and whenever i get the adjustment wrong ( which happens most of the time) i lag behind all the other boats...
