Great video! I grew up sailing lasers on Lake Ontario. I've sailed Lasers solo and far out in open water in winds and waves like this. Leaning off the stern as far as you can go while on the reach it was terrifying and so exhilarating, no other feeling like it.

Or a run (up by Minden) and the wind smacking you forward, so that you roll back on the transom with your legs high in the air. I'll never forget that.

OK OK OK, you're right... A laser CAN reach the speed of light despite wave interactions.

The skill require to sail like this is awesome, very real. No wonder so many world class sailors, sailed Lasers & J24's, tough competition of large global fleets is awesome. Just bought a Laser and resumed sailing one after a 22 year gap. Such a thrill and challenge after bigger boats.

Fair enough, i reckon i am fairly biased on the subject. I just do love the thrill of trapping out on a cat in high wind conditions. Trimming the sails, tiller under your arm, balancing the boat on the down wind hull, rudders humming, getting blasted in the face with spray, all while trying to keep your footing! Or hitting the bay on a windy fall day before a cold front hits on a sailboard bumpin and jumpin! Thats my heaven. To each their own.

when you get these storm conditions with long period waves then you get high waves with a long wavelength (about 75m for a 7sec wave) which makes them less steep and "smooth" between the peaks and you get the effects you were sailing in. Excellent sailing, how did the gybes go?

@snakeking99200011 жыл бұрын
Nope. I disagree. Sailing a Laser well in rough conditions, as per this video, is a nice challenge even for the world's best dinghy sailors. Sometimes planing a monohull is more difficult than sailing a catamaran. The Laser remains a popular design, even for experts. This is why the Laser Radial evolved from the Laser. The fact that it happens to be versatile does not detract from its status.
