⛵️Instagram / totaljoyrider IF YOU ARE NEW TO LASER SAILING or if english isn't your first language this could be quite helpful.
The Laser is one of the Olympic sailing boats, if you want to know more about what's going on in the races, maybe this can be for you.
The Laser is a widely used class of single-handed, one-design sailing dinghies using a common hull design with three interchangeable rigs of different sail areas, appropriate to a given combination of wind strength and crew weight. Bruce Kirby designed the Laser in 1970 with an emphasis on simplicity and performance.
The Laser is a widely produced class of dinghies. As of 2018, there were more than 215,000 boats worldwide. It is an international class with sailors in 120 countries, and an Olympic class since 1996. Its wide acceptance is attributable to its robust construction, simple rig and ease of sailing that offer competitive racing due to tight class association controls which eliminate differences in hull, sails, and equipment.

This will be a great series. I love my H16 but have often thought about getting a Laser for when I want to go sail without all of the setup of the 16. Will this series include a speed run? I’d love to see what kind of speeds to expect from a Laser

[@JoyriderTV]

I'll put may Laser hat on and get out there!

[@sheilastallard]

Very basic dinghy...............how it should be!! Keep Safe!

[@JoyriderTV]

You too. Pure sailing with a Laser

[@anonomofosho]

Mate this is a great video. Well-done. You speak really clearly and explain just enough detail

[@JoyriderTV]

Glad you liked it!

[@__X__O__O__]

Oooooooooooh yessssssssss ! Many thanks Joseph for this. I hope the first from a long serial ! I love HC16, but I would like to improve laser ! I’m your fan from France in Les Sables d’Olonne. Laurent

[@JoyriderTV]

Thanks! I'll do some more Laser!

[@CptShelby]

Watching this as a recap. Thanks a lot. Informative and concise. Do you also have a video about how to swap out the mast & sail? Or how you store the boat? (which parts remain attached to the boat.)

[@JoyriderTV]

Thanks very much. I'll have a look and put something together.

[@jackytu2710]

Really great short concise tips for how to trim sails in general. Thank you, love your channel

[@JoyriderTV]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad that it is helpful

[@user-ge8fn4jr5q]

laser is love laser is life

[@JoyriderTV]

🤩

[@errigo76]

How rudder is holding at upward position?

[@JoyriderTV]

It's just friction from the bolt.

[@nicko6710]

Love the Laser, hate the mainsheet traveler setup.

[@JoyriderTV]

Yes. It's not ideal!

[@nicko6710]

@@JoyriderTV Can you take a full rig out in 20 knots? I 'd like to see what you can get it to do. Too much for me at 65kg.

[@bobooh5804]

Useful and informative? Yeah, definitely!! Entertaining? 🤔 .. I'll get back to u on that one. Thanks for posting!!

[@JoyriderTV]

Ha! Thanks!

[@Aneblanc]

Unfortunately the translation has gone haywire! Examples: painter: bosse, downhaul: cunningham, outhaul: (réglage de) bordure, vang: hale-bas, traveler: pantoire, etc, etc

[@JoyriderTV]

Oh dear. Yes, I can imagine that google couldn't get it right!

[@ak4m389]

I know this isn’t about lasers but once my friend and I put a Catalina 16 jib onto a pico and we had 3 sails on a tiny boat and were absolutely zooming I wish there was a way to put a jib on a laser

[@JoyriderTV]

Yes, that would certainly be fun!

[@bitvomit374]

Hi, very nice video. I have a question and it’s what do you think is a better dinghy for fun and enjoyment, laser or europe?

[@JoyriderTV]

I think the Laser is less complex and there are more of then about - so the Laser wins!

[@homegrownpa]

Thank you, very clear and easy to understand. One more thing whilst I'm here, I've been looking at either the Laser or the Solo, but is it true that the boom is higher on the Solo, that might be a deciding factor at my past prime years!

[@JoyriderTV]

I'm not so familiar with the Solo but i'm pretty sure that is the case

[@3falexchina]

Thanks a lot! Very informative video! Now I got idea how to do DIY rigging my Laser

[@JoyriderTV]

Glad it was helpful!

[@munswabahmed966]

Thank you for your concern. I will 💪

[@Axtros]

So you have the daggerboard halfway up on reaches?

[@JoyriderTV]

Yes, as you don't need the amount of leeway prevention as on the upwind.

[@MrVp1974]

Lovely

[@JoyriderTV]
