Hi-
I'm a bit of a newbie here... I bought a laser for myself because the price was right and I've been trying to teach myself to sail with a decent degree of skill.
I'm getting to be comfortable with the boat in most conditions, but one thing that still evades me is sail trim. I know the theory and I can trim for conditions before I leave shore, but I have no idea how the hell you guys manage to reach those ropes while sailing, especially the vang and outhaul....? Anyone feel like giving me a pointer or two?
