no splicing on the attachment on the floating block or the secondary to the kicker unit? And her cunno secondary isn't burned?

[@GuillermoJGasperi]

what is the purchase system ration on that kicker system???

[@al.sargent]

Thanks for sharing. A question for Paige: when tying off your at the hiking strap, are you concerned with the tail of the vang getting sucket into the mainsheeet ratchet? If so, how do you avoid this?

[@user-es6bo2qn7i]

used to tie the tail to the daggerboard handle. havent raced in a long time, so i dont know what is class-legal anymore, but thats what most people used to do around where i am

What double block is shown by Paige in the kicker?

[@scottbaker7695]

What is the cunningham snap part? I don't see that coming with a Harken vang. Easy to see at 44 seconds.

[@samriley637]

Doesn’t ILCA say that the only line U can tie into the boat is the mainsheet

[@ILCALaserSailor]

Great video, but concerned with the legality of some of the items she referenced, ie.. two handles for the vang and tying to the hiking strap? Keep the content coming, love this and check us out too for more great laser sailing videos. #ilcalasersailor
