Hi JJL, our club is doing club races and training all year long. GEN Roses was hosting Laser Master Worlds 2007 and Europeans 2012. Visit www.genroses.cat and google for "roses laser sailing" and discover the area. See you ! Peter.

Never had this clear: what rule applies when two boats side-by-side on a run gybing and touch for example with their boom. R13 talks (only ?) about tacking ...

What is the best way to repair a rudder where the hole for the downhaul line broke out. Would be enough to fill with epoxy with the downhaul line in ? Found this: http://www.laserforum.org/showthread.php?t=33384 Exactly what i was looking for (Search first, then post !)

I tried this yesterday with low wind. And realy it is the fastest, drop tiller and turn with roll tacking and gybing. The roll gives enough power to turn fast and an extra when returning to normal course. Thank you.

Hi, what about penalty turns. Single turn (360) normally goes well, but with double turn (720) i always get stuck (and sometimnes swim) after the second tack. What to do in each condition (wind, waves), body movement, applies rule 42 ?

There are some short clips on the original home page i think: http://www.sailfit.com/dvd2.html

My current boom has a lot of corrosion around all the rivets for the fittings and i fear some of them will broke the next time during sailing. Do you think it will be a good idea to turn all fittings to the opposite site and fill free holes with empty rivets. Will the boom get to weaky with so...

I have never used a top indicator, but i get told you stick the long bar between tube and sail, thats it ! Don't know what will happen on capsizing. Maybe some duck tape to secure. HTH

As the rules stated: 23. WIND INDICATORS (a) Wind indicators may be attached as desired provided the sail is not cut and the buoyancy qualities of the hull and mast are not impaired. (b) Ribbons, wool or similar wind indicators may be attached to the sail. Thats are all analog indicators...

If you bought the Fatso it should be a "standard" length and many sailors in the same boat than yours are happy with this. Keep it the next time and you will see that after some more practice handling is easy. It is like the 14m/7mm main sheet. For beginners really hard to handle, but after...

>>Hi i recently heard that sailing a laser down wind you need the outhaul fully on tight to increase sail area? This is true. The projected area is bigger. But the question is: is this fast ? And the answer is no. Fast downwind never is dead downwind. You have to put some air flow over the sail...

Dear RobKoci that sounds interesting. I find all the systems with purchase don't work when the strap is too long. See how short is the strap on the mentioned forum pics. On a longer strap is no space for a thick line and knots and purchase. I will have a try with the shock cords !!!

Except right before reaching lee mark to get inner position. And thats all about dw course how to win or defense lee mark inner position. On the run it is dificult to pass a lot of boats, but important to get into a proper tactical position when reaching lee mark. So sailors intent anything to...

As far as i know you need only one domestic balance: put bow on the ground and soport stern with the balance, then put stern onthe ground and soport bow with the balance, add the two weights.
