I'm looking to buy a laser and am not sure whether to go for the radial rig or not. I've only been out on a regular rig and found if manageable, but I've only been out in light winds. I'm wondering what other women prefer. I plan to race mine at my club against almost all men and a few juniors, but they're all in full rigs.
My two questions are: how big is the difference in moderate/heavy winds and can a radial keep up with the big boys? (Granted, I need the skills to back it up, but that's just a technicality). Any guidance would be great. (I'm 5'3" and between 120 and 125 pounds, depending on the day).
Thanks!
