There's no laser 4.7 in the olympics?

"Thank you for your comments... I would agree that the sailor could be more proactive on the entry to the gybe by instigating the turn with their main sheet and body weight. However, i do feel this video succeeds in its aim of providing the key points required for a "safe and effective" gybe. Although not perfect, most sailors new to a 4.7 would be happy to gybe like this consistently. As for the vang, the sailor is gybing reach to reach and therefore has his sail set up for sailing on a reach rather than a run, without seeing his leach I think it's difficult to comment."

I fully agree. The directions are correct but the video is not.

vang on to much and not enough body weight moving around for steering...these videos are not showing the right way to sail this boat.
