    Thanks. Can you say a bit about setting the kicker going into a gybe. I always seem to mess that up.

      Thanks for the question. I will see if I can find some good footage and put a video together. In general it is best to go slightly too loose than too tight if you are experimenting.

    Easing the sail also steers the boat.

    Two questions. 1. If you can alter the daggerboard should you have it down for the gybe? 2. When sailing by the lee should you move to a broad reach before the gybe?

      Hello. Good question. Generally you should leave the dagger board raised slightly. If it is all the way down the impact of the sail filling on the new side is going to have more of a tipping effect. You can gybe from sailing by the lee, but will require a slightly different technique to get a good exit to the gybe, or you can just pull the sail in a bit and get it done. I have a plan to do a video on various gybe techniques for the laser. If in doubt though give it a go and see what happens
