Any advice on my position as the helmsman in a Laser w/18-22 knots of breeze? I am sailing in Bonaire and we were screaming upwind and reaching. I was hiking w/feet in straps and the other guy was on the wire. The problem was that the spray was such that it was as though I was on the wrong end of an open fire hydrant; it was so bad I could not see and ended up spending most of the time sailing blind and by feel with my head eventually turned back to watch our wake.
I have only ever sailed a regular Laser and am wondering if I should hike less and the forward person hike/lean out more?
I was also considering wearing prescription diving mask but that seemed absurd (and very gooney given my coke bottle like prescription)
