what kind of sailing watch does the crew have? and where can I buy one?
@cameronpierce9426 4 ай бұрын
Great video! I'll definitely be following more of your videos after seeing this one! Question: What are your vang settings off the start--and for crabbing in particular? I tend to keep the vang off until I'm well & truly underway, as I find I sometimes get stuck in irons (or in reverse) when head-to-wind on the start line (especially when the wind is up)? Will crabbing work the same with vang on/off? Thank you!

Hey Erik, congrats on coaching Erika to a win in the recent Trials. How do you maximize your crabbing time, and how do you know when to stop crabbing? I find that if I crab for more than 3 seconds, I go past head to wind, but you were able to crab for longer, maybe several seconds.

I don't know about all these technicalities but I do know that in a strong wind, sailing downwind in a Laser is terrifying right up until the moment you get tossed over the side to watch your boat sail off into the sunset.

These videos are awesome. As someone who just got tossed on a radial in 18 knots and dumped it more than sailed it, the boat handling is incredible. Looking forward to learning more from this series of videos and looking for how you do the little things and maybe work up to ability to enter a race one day

you're allowed to pump sails like he is if you are using the heel to turn. like how he uses the leeward heel to head up, then he flattens the heel

@laserbob 2 жыл бұрын
This is exactly correct. Pulling the board up while backwinding the sail enables the boat to drift to windward. It takes a lot of practice, because it is really easy to accidentally tack.

@WoWOmegor 3 жыл бұрын
As someone pointed out rule 21.3 states that a boat moving sideways to windward through backing her sail is the keep clear boat. So one cannot force a windward boat to tack or cross the line by crabbing

@brookeaustin8919 3 жыл бұрын
To anyone watching this video to practice their roll tacking, I strongly advise against going bare foot like the crew is in this video, and to always wear closed toe shoes. There is a lot of force involved in vaulting across the boat during this maneuver, and you will have a very bad time if an individual toe catches all of that weight. I broke my foot this weekend in exactly this way, and am land-bound for a couple of months as a result. Please learn from my mistake!

The headunits are from BbTalkin. They're meant for watersports, so yet they are waterproof. We don't use them during normal practice, but for one-on-one (private coaching) or small group sessions, they are invaluable.
