Great work! Please keep posting these technique-focused videos. I am really missing these longer format videos about ILCAs on youtube. 👍👍⛵

[@danselfsailing]

Thanks for watching, I'll definitely do that. Are there any techniques or areas of sailing in particular you would like to see?

Isn't that mainsheet pump illegal? I've seen a lot of sailors doing that, but the 42.3(c) is supposed to prohibit any action that causes the leech to flick.

[@danselfsailing]

This link is particularly useful when it comes to Rule 42 for the Laser www.sailing.org/tools/documents/Rule42Laser201320032014-[16804].pdf Flicking of the leech is allowed as long as it is related to steering, trying to initiate surfing (once per wave), or connected to the wind/wave conditions. The 'drop pump' will usually be used after bearing away to a by-the-lee angle, so is technically connected to steering of the boat
