from what i see, it's more of an aspect of younger sailors have coaches out there watching them train and its a lot easier to fix your mistakes when you have someone watching you outside the boat and analizing your sailing. from that i think younger sailors have an advantage from being able to...

as the boat starts gaining speed on a reach, you will have more of a head wind meaning sheeting in or have the boat be unstable as it is undersheeted. with the chop, work the waves, pumping your sail on waves and surfing if possible doesnt seem like it will make your boat anymore stable, but...

my style changes every race, my favorite thing to do is when the whole fleet parks on the line at 1min and then they drift down and then at like 20 you just fly in and take that perfect spot at the comittie wth full speed. but the main thing to do on the line is to be agressive and defend...

my best friend and training partner wears those neoprene MEC gloves, he swears by them and claims that his hands never even get wet, and i swear by those citton lined blue dishwashing gloves that are like $6 at canadian tire, though i dont tuck them into my top so my hands will still get wet...

im a young laser sailor in Nova Scotia

radials are slower than a standard full rig just because of the size of sail, and the standard sail is the sail that fits the boat to gain optimum performance

wearing weight belts or giving the competitors more gear to add weight would be ilegal. but i must ask, why are you so determined on only having one fleet, why not run 2 classes, one for radial one for standard

why not let both, standard and radial sail, and let the sailior choose depending pon their own weight and skill leval
