Ok, I ve posted a few threads, and I have to say I´m very happy with the answers, thanks to everybody who answered me those questions I was dealing with.
Now, I got the hardest one that no matter how I examine it I can´t explain, neither my sailing mates.
Our coach went to the Beijing 2008 Olympics with Tania Elias Calles (MEX) Lasr Radial, and brought some vids of the regattas at Qingdao back, and as you may now by now, the wind was very poor the first days. So, we saw the Laser race and all of us noticed that eventough the wind was very calm, ALL sailors had their mainsheet trimmed very tight , when in basics of lightwind sailing says you have to ease some feet of sheet, so can anyone explain why?? Please?:confused:
 
If you were looking at Radial sail videos then that would be right. Radials trim much tighter in light air than full rig.
