Hi all,
I began sailing 2 years ago & now race every Wednesday evening & Sundays.
Annoyingly, despite reading books, talking to fellow club members I constanyly finish in the bottom third.
Usually I have a great start & always seem to lose out on the downwind part of the race when fellow lasers seem to come in on my port side & beat me to the mark.
Lasersailing are running an event in June hosted my Thompson - GBR no.2 - its a type of clinic for advanced sailors with video analysis.
Reading up on the course the term 'sailing by the lee' is mentioned.
I know its about downwind sailing & Rooster have a video on this but I still don't fully understand what it is.
If someone could explain it'd be real helpful.
