After 3:30 I noticed that you are moving in and out a lot in terms of body positioning until you reached the last 2 boat lengths to the mark. Why are you doing this? I do similar movements in the ocean and my coach says that I am shaking my rig too much, then tells me to sit still but if a puff comes I feel that I cant flatten enough. Thoughts?
XDlaser

Mostly to keep the boat very flat, the fore and aft movement also helps steer the boat. Ask your coach to film you from the coach boat and if you have a gps or speed puck, see how fast you're going with different techniques (Still/Agressive/in-between). You might be on to something, the laser is such a physical boat to sail, my thought is that if your coach want's you to be still, try to keep the rig more still and the boat flat, you do whatever you have to, to make that happen. In waves and chop you've got to use your body to keep the boat sailing fast.

the wind is usually not consistent enough that you can sit back still and cruise, there's almost always another gear for you to find out on the water. The longer you can sail faster, the easier it will be to win. Hope that helps and feel free to drop a line anytime!

The movements are being made to keep the rig steady. Always keep your butt on the rail and shoulders out in this breeze. Once that puff hits you can easily and smoothly transfer to the hiking position without "shaking" your rig. When the lull hits you can pull your shoulders. Doing this will allow you to keep and flat boat and a powered up rig. This wave set in the video is very flat so that would play a large role in how the boat would be sailed.

Hey Andrew,
I've found that frequent, hard hiking is taking a toll on my ankles (tendinitis, bursitis etc. from riding the strap). I've generally always sailed Lasers barefoot; now I'm wondering if you can recommend a hiking boot that provides some structural support & protection?
Appreciate your expert feedback, as always,
C

This is great to know; I will certainly be on the lookout for the Pryde boots now. Thanks, as always, for your time and expertise!

XDlaser - 8 years ago
Neil Pryde makes a boot that is almost identical to the Aigles, They'll be available at www.laserxd.com/shop shortly. I find that they give the right amount of comfort and support. I had a problem with my foot/big toe and with these boots it doesn't bother me, most other boots were a problem. Hiking barefoot can take it's toll especially as the breeze increases. Also if you can get your feet at the right angle, not too verticle or too straight it will help you sail faster and stay healthy!

YOU WAS FLYING ALONG. I was wondering if you could help me with my upwind sailing in a laser radial?
-when I'm going upwind on a small, shifty lake (like a pond) should I point and pinch or should I bear down and go for boatspeed.
-When I am going upwind on a big lake should I point and pinch or should I bear down and go for boatspeed.
-When should I use my telltales.
Thanks, your sincerely Jack
XDlaser
XDlaser - 7 years ago
Most of the time going for boat speed is going to get you around faster, you can actually use the tiller to your advantage if you keep in mind leeward heel headup, windward heel head down (bear away)

Use your tell tales often but also go by feel, if you're only looking at your tell tales you'll miss puffs, shifts and waves coming that can also impact your speed greatly, use them but don't only use them, use all the information you pick up on. Resort back to the telltales when you're slow. Leeward always streaming, windward streaming and/or stalling some of the time is the rule of thumb.

Hope that helps

Thanks for the video! I wonder if you can field a few questions, some of them quite basic, as I try to improve my Laser racing?
1) Just curious why you appeared to start so low (ie., near the port side of the line)?--I find it's a beast to try crossing a moderate-sized fleet on port tack.
2) I've heard/read some people say to keep dinghies flat for optimum speed; others recommend keeping them heeled (eg., 10-15 degrees for a Laser) to reduce surface tension width-wise. It looked like you were keeping the boat minimally heeled, though... your thoughts?
3) On the one hand, a broad reach is supposed to be the fastest point of sail, yet I almost invariably see Lasers running before the wind on windward-leeward courses, heeling to windward to fly the kite higher (with slight zig-zags); from the video you looked to be doing the latter. Can you comment on this?
4) Finally, in super low wind do you ever throw in extra roll tacks to try to gain speed? (Some people tell me that you'll always lose a little ground on a tack, and that I should be minimizing my tacks)
Any answers will be most helpful!
cheers,
Cameron Pierce

+Cameron Pierce 1. The port end was favored on this start or a favored side of the course because of current and wind. There's quite a bit of current here.

2. Flat is fast is the rule of thumb, occasionally a little consistent heel can help, like in short choppy waves that would otherwise fill the cockpit. In that case heel drains water to the side and saves you a ton of water weight. It can also work in very light conditions since flat there is almost no feel.

3. Basically you want to alternate between by the lee and broad reaching, sailing by the lee can be fastest in the laser, sailing by the lee is essentially a reach with backwards flow on the sail, both angles you should have your board down more than when on a run.

4. You're not allowed to roll tack in order to gain speed, the main goal is to keep your speed going, You can tack for tactical reasons. In very light conditions you can obviously come out of a roll tack faster than you went in. A big race will probably be abandoned, but at the club level it's good practice so why not practice your roll tacks, it's more fun than drifting around and it will make you a better boat handler

+h3xmax these are Aigle which are no longer made, we will be carrying the Neil Pryde in our shop which are identical. Definitely the best boots out there, email us if you'd like to order some

Andrew,
What kind of watch are you wearing?  
XDlaser
XDlaser - 8 years ago
+Ray Campbell that's the old clearstart by Ronstan (the new ones are different), you can get an Optimum OS SERIES 3 which is the exact same design, we will be carrying these in our store shortly, if you'd like one let us know!

Is it bad to have a fluttering leech on a laser when sailing upwind? If so, how do you stop it? Thanks
XDlaser
XDlaser - 10 years ago
it's an indicator of reduced leech tension, you can try less vang and cunningham otherwise it might be that your sail is getting soft/worn, even new sails will flutter in heavy air though, so if you notice it only when it's windy that's normal ~15kts+

What main sheet swivel block do you use and specs
XDlaser
XDlaser - 8 years ago
+Alex Smerdon it's a Ronstan 40c block, it was soft attach, now they only make the metal d-ring one, highly recommend this block with the Rooster Polilite (see our shop we carry this) awesome rope for a laser or dinghy
XDlaser
XDlaser - 10 years ago
Ronstan 40c, attaches with dyneema, then use a spring to keep the block up in the air, great combo with 6mm Polilite (http://laserxd.com/product/rooster-polilite-6mm/)

nice tacks

that only matters when you are overpowered and need to vang-sheet to keep the boat flat. He can clearly keep the boat flat with his body weight, so the vang it set for the roll flat when tacking.

Andrew finished 1,8,2,1,6,2,2,1 first place for the day (8 races with 18 stds) the boats ahead are radials with a 3 minute head start
Martim Anderson
Martim Anderson - 11 years ago
the vang needs to be much tighter, that is why you lose some ground to leeward when you are going upwind. As you can see at 4:00 min you tighten up the mainsheet and there is slack in the vang. The vang should be very tight, so that when you work the main sheet the boom should move to the side and not up. Otherwise nice sailing and nice video!

Joe
Joe - 11 years ago
no that's legal kinetics. It isn't exaggerated more than the roll from the chop. Good Sailing
XDlaser
XDlaser - 11 years ago
No jury boats, there was a good amount of chop so everyone was rocking, It seemed faster to keep the boat heeled to windward and use smooth movements to minimize rocking.
