sail in block to block going up wind.... pull on more outhaul upwind... the tack was poor and looks a lot lighter than 20 knts apart from that, not bad..

try tightening your outhaul in heavy air like that so that you heal less and have better flow over your sail

Big tip, going upwind bring the sail in all the way no matter the conditions and just pinch up just enough so that you can keep it flat. It doesnt feel faster but it is if your racing.

I've been involved in sailing and sailing media for decades, and I prefer your videos over the "professional" Laser videos on YouTube. Those other vids are all quick-cuts and very short clips that drive me crazy, and show nothing about what it's really like to sail a Laser. Keep up the great work!

@NubbyVids 4.7 radials are good, but i find they're heavy so they don't catch speed very quickly.

Mate, i know you don't need any more tips but i am just going to suggest something quickly. You seem to be keeling way to much and not keeping the boat flat. If you want to maintain speed and balance in a laser, keeping it flat is totally essential. check your hiking strap is not too loose, because if it is, you are getting to leverage on the boat and are doing more work than you have to. Just a quick tip :) take it or leave it :)

out huals on lasers are normaly like that idke for mine its just how loose my bowline is on the tac
Daniel Alcock
Daniel Alcock - 15 years ago
mate you seem like a small guy and in those breezes you should be almost block to block and have your outhaul tight on, downhaul on, and your vang aswell. If you get this right you will be come a good heavy air sailor
Hannes Hille
Hannes Hille - 15 years ago
you might wanna flatten your sail a bit more upwind in those conditions.

In wind like that mate u need ur outhaul on really tight. If u still feel over powered then start pulling ur downhaul on. To windward u should ideally have ur mainsheet on as tight as you can. So lots of outhaul and downhaul and keep that main on. Great Sailing.

Erik Samuels
Erik Samuels - 15 years ago
its irrelevant if you depower your boat properly. you lose lanes when you dont roll tack no matter what condition it is. it is even worth easing the main while flattening. same goes for gybes.
Erik Samuels
Erik Samuels - 15 years ago
I cant tell from the video but thats about 1-2 ft of chop right? unless you become totally over powered having a loose outhaul will actually decrease the surface area of the sail while giving you enough power to ride up waves. dont wear shorts over hiking pants which i assume youre wearing. it makes you slide all over the place. buy some boots man, i used to tape my feet but after a while you have to deal with ankle fatigue. adjust your control lines. just keep sailing and im sure you'll get it.

Hmmmm....get a waterproof mp3 player...y need some rhythm and try keeping the damn thing flat...use only the belt,forget the steppers!!!make your tacks a little bit more aggressive...and move only your head and your body,NOT your hands!!i can clearly see your hands move continuously...n thats terrible,i mean that you let all the wind you r gathering(by moving away from the wind)go away..so keep your hands steady!!!...JRC808 is right about the outhaul n MacKid about the boom vang...!!!
Luke O'Connor
Luke O'Connor - 15 years ago
you need to hike a lot harder. get farther out so only your toes are under the strap and your body is parallel to the water at all times.

try to improve your turns, When you turn against he wind (sorry i'm dutch, don't know how to say it English) Lean till your boat almost capsizes, then you won't lose as much speed ;)

bro put ur windicator level with the gooseneck and straight opposite the boom and put it upside down as people's mainsheets get snagged on it near starts. i also tie a small rope with a shackle on the end tied to the windicator and shackle it to the gooseneck so i don't lose it. hope my advice helps

all the comments here or good but Hand-over-hand sheeting is something that you can work on even in lower wind conditions. because your only sheeting in with your "free-hand". it will help your overall sailing aswell (block to block, mark roundings, penalty turns) but you may have already been told this by some of your coaches.
marcel herrera
marcel herrera - 16 years ago
i couldnt agree more with trinidefender, maybe make loops in your controls so you dont have to wrap your hands around the controls when you want to pull them on
trinidefender1
trinidefender1 - 16 years ago
oh and finally you can tighten the outhaul for the upwind
trinidefender1
trinidefender1 - 16 years ago
8 don't hold the tiller extension with both hands, always have the other hand free to constantly adjust the mainsheet and other controls, it really isn't that hard to hold with 1 hand. 9 take the mainsheet deck cleats out of the boat, honestly, how often do you use them, all they do is rip your hikers and hurt when you sit on them, all they are is another distraction
trinidefender1
trinidefender1 - 16 years ago
2 more things: 6 you have to be quicker on the mainsheet easing and tightening 7 and finally you look like a statue in the boat, you have to be free and fluid in your movements and feel the boat or you will never go fast, for example you could see on the camera how the boat was crashing over the waves, if you can constantly adjust your body weight then the boat won't bounce as much and you will loose less speed
trinidefender1
trinidefender1 - 16 years ago
4 overtightened the controls, it bends the mast and closes up the leech and/or luff of the sail flattening out the belly and depowering the sail 5 raise the centerboard on the downwind, so if you head up or bear away very suddenly the boat doesn't want to heel as much and less drag in the water. you don't have to believe me but i have gone to many competitions and i got into gold fleet in the 2008 Laser 4.7 championships in Trogir, Croatia, if you don't believe me, i will send you details
trinidefender1
trinidefender1 - 16 years ago
not trying to put anybody down but there were tons of mistakes. 1 the boat was constantly heeling, it isn't a keelboat, a laser has tons of slideslip when it heels. 2 when you jybe, it looks like your course changes are way to big, try sheeting in a bit more and then give a final pull to bring the sail across and stop the mainsheet hooking to the back corner 3 its a laser, you have to hike more than that or move to a different boat
Tom Marks
Tom Marks - 16 years ago
matthewsulliv6 if you have the blocks block to block the sail will be powered up as you come out of the tack, especially in these kind of conditions. If anything you want to ease them slightly and then sheet back in after the tack. Also it means it is easier to get under the boom, and not get caught on anything.
Nathan Brazil
Nathan Brazil - 16 years ago
or not....
Tom Marks
Tom Marks - 16 years ago
You don't need much kicker on when you go downwind, it will just bend the top section of the mast, especially with the new XD kit. Also, wear boots. You can hike harder for longer.
Matthew Sullivan
Matthew Sullivan - 16 years ago
when tacking... try to have your sheet block to block when gybing... a lot more sheeting will prevent the mainsheet from getting stuck at the back
THEROLLINNGDICE99
THEROLLINNGDICE99 - 16 years ago
i just have a vlecro strap and i attatchet it to that little block at the front infront of the mast hole i also used alot of duck tape to keep it steady. whats a transom mount
timber_beast
timber_beast - 16 years ago
What is your camera setup? I would like to vid off my laser in sfbay where we get +15knt steady with plenty of flat water. What kind of on-water adjustments can you make? ever try a transom mount? thanks.
Lorenzo Ong
Lorenzo Ong - 16 years ago
Nice video and nice winds. Maybe it would be better if you also had like a fuller' view. In terms of ur camera being further front so that i can see mroe of the backgrounds so i know how much you are turning. Nice tacks.
THEROLLINNGDICE99
THEROLLINNGDICE99 - 16 years ago
yer i didnt actuall know that two much in hevy winds is bad thanks
Lawrence Creaser
Lawrence Creaser - 16 years ago
From the looks of it you possibly have the kicker a little bit loose for that wind, try tightening it up a little bit but not tooo much or you'll go nowhere. Good Video! keep up the sailing. Let me know if this helps
carpe85
carpe85 - 16 years ago
Cool video. Like somepeople said, unless you have the weight, aerobic fitness, and muscular endurance to keep the boat leveled with that much outhaul, you should tighten it, keep the sail a lot flatter. Your cunningham seemed pretty loose too, but I couldn't tell very well. Great video. Keep up the good work.

i'm not sure if any one picked this up but at around 1:40 my mainsheet was cleeted. Whats everyones view on this?

yea i think its the angle because it didnt look like tht from where i was sitting, also i'm in a radial
Ryan Novak-Smith

yea you should roll tack/gybe so when the sail comes over you can use it as a fan to speed out of the tack or gybe
