    The centerboard on this boat was missing little rubber bumpers that stop it from going under….that’s tough. For the main sheet, remember to feed one hand to another so as to avoid letting go of the tiller. The reason why your cockpit was full of water is this boat is missing the autobailer at the back of the cockpit. The people who lent you this boat gave you a rough first try at laser sailing, it’s super fun once you get good at it tho

      Ahhhh, so maybe I got set up. Still lots of fun. Thank you for the info!

    I believe it was not the water in the cockpit giving you fits, but water in the hull. Old boat, leaky, these "friendly" yachties didn't do you any favors! But you made it through in fine form. Next time you take out a laser, make sure it's a good one, and you'll be amazed at how fun they are.

      Thanks for that. If the opportunity comes up I will give it another crack!

    Man, thanks, this video has been so fun to watch (in a respectful way, of course), everyone who has some experience on a Laser had all of the "problems" you had, so is very relatable.
    Laser is an incredible dinghy, sometimes it's like riding a horse without a saddle.
    Thanks for sharing your experience!

    there should be a drainage plug inside the cockpit where you can drain the water out.

      Thanks Jack, didn't know that. Haven't had a chance to sail one since Lake Bonney.

    Good on ya for keeping at it man. I’ve had a boat flood in me and it’s extremely hard to sail.

      Havent had access to one for a while. My club nearly got one but needs way too much work.

    I made a rookie mistake by leaving the bung out. To my mind it made the laser impossible to sail. (I thought it was me) To complete two races with the boat in that condition is a remarkable achievement! It almost put me off sailing my boat for good. (At least a week anyway)

    • @Adventure_Bum
      @Adventure_Bum  10 месяцев назад

      Yeah nearly put me off too. Well done on completing the races. How many times did ya go over?
