unless planing is in the offing, keep your weight as far fwd as possible in the Laser, literally as far fwd as you can - even when hiking - as far fwd as possible, without digging the bow into the waves. The design of the boat is such that the vessel tends to drag its stern a bit which is a notable drag on speed.

@louis58654 жыл бұрын
He is looking for darker patches on the water, wich means higher pressure(gusts), you can use these to speed up and when you are going upwind you can luft up in a gust. These gusts are often what cause less experienced sailors to capsize because of the sudden increase in pressure. A good sailor will always see these coming and it is good to constantly be looking out for them because 1 good gust can change if you win or lose a race.

I`m actually confused by the work with the helm. You appear to bear away on the top of the wave, but this leads you to drammatically increase the angle respect the wind, as you rarely head up. I instead head up when climbing the wave and bear down the time I descend along its "back". This usually allows me to keep a good angle and not go sideways. I also try to make more speed as the waves get bigger but my abovementioned work remains the same. I am still able to head up by inertia and counter the "gust effect" you usually feel on top of a wave. What do you think about it? Take into account that I am 171cm x 73kg.

@zohnjimmerman81453 жыл бұрын
Oh... I didn't realize that you were an olympic sailor lol. You do this by heading up as your bow comes toward a wave and come back down as you pass over it. An easy method is to preform the motion a split second before the wave stall hits your rudder. Watch some of the Aarhus 2018 qualification races or medal races and it shows top level sailors including nick with this tactic. Coaches and sailing federations can provide speed trackers and put them on 2 boats to show when one is gaining or losing; waves, straight line, puffs, lulls, etc... Do this properly and you won't "keep loose"

Great video..I have one question about weight distribution? is it even on both feet? More on the back or on the front foot? This must have to do with the direction you are going compared to the wind right?
@grosjambondeux7 жыл бұрын
Slightly more on the back foot 60/40. inversely upwind. But the longer the fin, the more you can put on the back leg. So a wave or FS Board won't allow you put the same amount of weight on the back leg as a Freeride or a Slalom would do. Frequency of spin out is a good way to gage.
