Hi,
I am new to Laser sailing. I am 6'3" and 220 lbs. I am in a class right now and when wind allows my instructor tells me to hike. As soon as my butt goes over the edge of the boat thats it, game over. The boat comes down on top of me.
Am I too heavy to sail Lasers?
Am I doing something wrong?
When I lean out it seems to be enough to flatten the boat. Do you have to hike?
When I am not in the water I love the speed and feel of the Laser.
Is it hopeless?
