I know this has probably been beat to death here before, but..................... OK here is my situation. I am 62. I bought a Laser several years ago after a long layoff from sailing. went out in the dead of winter (Pacific Northwest) poorly rigged the first couple of times and spent most of my time trying to right the boat after capsizing and nearly freezing to death even with my wet suit. Looking back it I am sure it was hilarious to anyone observing. Anyway I sold the boat after not really giving it a chance. I am wondering if at my age it makes sense to give it another try. Also curious if I would be better starting with a radial vs full rig. I weigh 180, but ideally would be at 160. I have gained a bunch of weight from a chronic running injury causing inactivity. I need to start getting back in shape again and think the physical demands of sailing a Laser may be the ticket. Plus, heck, I just enjoy sailing!
Opinions as to my potential success at this venture welcome.
Thanks, Mike
