When I first saw this video, I misread "Lazer ||" as "Laser II" ("Laser 2"). But thank you very much for this! Hope your channel and sailing is going well!
Excellent commentary Dan starting with the objectives and on to the play by play of the technique at different wind speeds. I am sharing this with my email group mostly in western Canada. Thanks.👏
Dan - this is extremely helpful. Thank you very much. One suggestion: Did you ever think about producing a similar video on gybing (light, medium, heavy air)? Unfortunately I can’t find a lot of content concerning this subject.
I want to add a thing just to have a reference sensation to confront with. When I tack in light and medium wind I always make sure to have the former front foot pushing on the far side of the cockpit so I can literally jump or push my butt all the way up to the new side. This is particularly effective for short people (I'm 171cm). Grabbing the new side with the hand, in my experience, is not enough to make sure my butt peeps out of the gunwale so I need this "extra-burst" with my foot. For better learning then I usually give the advice of putting some mind on that foot, checking if there's enough pressure on it.
Doing a role tack coming out of this tack with more speed will get you a penalty, according to the rules!! Seems everyone is getting away this these rules????
