Fortunately, my first experience on a laser (yesterday) was in 7-8 knot winds. If it had been any breezier, I know I would have gone in the drink multiple times because I couldn't seem to coordinate what to do with the tiller extension (never used one before, and it kept getting in my way) and the sheet when it came time to switch sides. I'm sure I'll get used to it with more hands on practice, but is there anything I can do between lessons for practice? Other than those totally uncoordinated moments, however, I loved it!
Holler if this forum is not really intended to include total beginners. You've all been an enormous help so far. I wish I had started sailing decades ago.
