Sailed in a storm on Lake Bala almost 40 years ago; also a Laser - I was the only dinghy out apart from a wayfarer with 4 up and storm sails, but the lake was buzzing with sailboards - all I could do was reach - epic day! Downwind on waves, wow, you need to be super quick and fit!! All I have is a grainy picture; these pictures are fabulous.
This is extremely tough sailing, gybing is dangerous, you need more vang than usual but that puts the boom in a bad spot. Nothing easy about this sailing. Runs are exhilarating, until the death roll.
Tak for these beautiful and illuminating shots. I'm thinking how to handle this afternoon training, in similar conditions ;-) Did we see Anne-Marie (215501) at some point? Which city is it? Copenhagen ? Aarhus ?
