Wow, should be an award for best KZbin instructional. Thanks Miranda

Outstanding. Very helpful. The various camera angles really make this one one of the better Weta technique videos I've seen. Would love to see another one like this on jibing, both with and without the screecher.

Great tips, Miranda. Thanks! While I do a more aggressive roll and back the jib to get the bow through our larger chop here in SF quicker, your Chris method looks safer indeed, as when not keen on my game, I can over rotate and stall the boat out. I also like how you are in the back hiking strap. I am rarely there, nor hike out the back of the boat on a reach due to my additional weight and drag, but as a Laser sailor, I am ingrained to keep my weight forward upwind. Whatever floats your boat!

Very good video. I recently purchased a Weta. I have a harness, but it is to short. I see yours has an extension, where can I find one?
