"luckily we still have the pics!" Epic Saturday afternoon captured on great pictures. The beauty of Laser sailing

Those were GREAT photos! Love the ones with the bright, white sails and the dark clouds in the background. Looks like it blew hard out there!

Thanks for sharing,

. A screen print from Saturday's wind. The weather station is less than 1 mile from the Laser course. The blue line is the average wind speed, the red line is the gusts. The fleet launched at 10:30 AM and returned (after two races) around 3 PM.

For me as well. A keelboat-jockey like me doesn't like those easy-flipping-wrong-side-up boats in that sort of weather. Besides: for me, 40 knots = heading to the harbour + a bar with a cosy fire! I only sail 'zwaardboten' (= 'dagger boats') when it's pretty nice and easy weather.
 
Fantastic pictures. Some brave sailors out there, just about got sea sick sitting in my recliner looking at those photographs.
