a weight vest would be illegal unless it weighed about nothing. the RRS says that your clothing could be weighed and subject to you being disqualified if they are a little too heavy. and also you would kill your back.
af far as foils go its the shape that give it their efficiency. as long as they are the same shape they should be just the same. that being said you would want whatever is light as possible but lasers being a one design they should all weigh the same. so any one in NA just save your cash and...
can everyone please just stop trying to make small changes to the wheel. it works how it is. if its not what you want then sail a boat that fits your needs and its as simple as that
sell it and buy another laser. its not like there is a shortage. unless that is really out of the question suck it up and drive it up. take some of the boys for a road trip
everyone just listen to one thing. " if you want to get better spend time on the water and go sailing". who cares about this crap. if you can get the board down then good if not then find out how. but spend your time on the water and not wondering how to do things differant.
no offence but in my opinion this is a waste of time. for a unstayed rig like a laser a chart like this is useless. what you need to know is snug up the vang. only take out wrinkles with cuno unto very overpowered. outhaul is very important. and soon as you can get under the strap and get...
i got the zhik superwarm top and when i wear it i dont usually wear a splash top on top of it. im personally a big fan of the zhik stuff you cant go wrong
what i do is and this works for radial and full rig but remember that radials have a tighter leach built into the sail. rig up your boat and push down on the boom so its 90 degrees to the mast. tie the boomvang so that is the max off. make sure you tie it off so that you have the most amount of...
personally i have never used the sea waist hikers but i have been using the usual sea hikers as in with the suspender things for years and they are great. i will admit that personally i love most things that zhik puts out. im not sailing lasers these days so i dont know about thier hikers but...
as far as performance goes lasers are not very high on the list but speed is relative. its all about getting yourself faster then the people your racing agaisnt.
the cost and ease of things is all that i miss ill give it that. but everything is slow. my favourite thing about lases is still that you get good talented big fleets. that and now im missing the simplicity.
just go sailing and work hard. if making money is a factor you got no chance. the olympic guys i have talked to have worked themselves into debt pretty well. the people that make money would be doing the same thing if the money was not there.
on another note just be happy this did not go down...
