P.s. Thumbs up for ISA for this video it's great.

1) I'm accustomed to setting the vang as shown here on the beat in light air (the slack just taken out when (close to) block-to-block), despite the fact that I'm clearly not overpowered in light air. The reason that I've always been taught for this is that vang helps the Laser to point higher. Is this true, and if so, why? In that case, does more vang help to point even higher??
2) On the topic of lines, specifically what size and type of line/rope do you recommend for your mainsheet, outhaul, cunningham, and vang, respectively?
Many thanks,
Also, I always thought that block to block was the highest setting. But then he had de-power one and two. Is that right?
