    I loved the extreme efforts to avoid capsizing, but everyone turns turtle once in a while! These sailors are great. This is why Lasers are an Olympic Class.

    I take great comfort watching sailors far better than I dump their Lasers.

    I used to race a Laser many years ago... However, not nearly a good as these guys. Great fun!!!

    Reminds me of sailing on Lake Ontario. We sailed out of Oswego and you get some huge rollers and wind. You keep the small craft behind the breakwall to help with this. I have been out on some bigger boats when it is 6-7 foot swells.

    I used to race on a reservoir in Lincoln, Nebraska will stationed at Offutt AFB. Wind really blew out there. Capsized twice in one race and still finished in the middle of the pack. I can remember a death roll on a dead run to this day. (It was around 1975)

    Didn't know it was possible to pitchpole or submarine a laser.

    • @josesimasyt
      @josesimasyt 3 года назад

      It is actually quite common in heavy weather. Scary and hard to get back on the boat as it it stays with the wind behind you. We used to hear a lot of jokes from folks in other classes about the lack of sea worthiness of the Laser. It is damn funny though.

    Before Lasers there were Sunfishs. After a while we'd only go out in small craft warnings, broke spars... this is my kind of small craft sailing.

    I remember surfing down a wave at Abersoch. Going so fast the gybe was as gentle as as if there was a summer breeze. Not as windy as this but still pretty breezy.

    When it got really hectic I used to use a 5.7. Slower down wind, faster upwind, and no swimming.... I realise that's not the point!

  • @dmetalii
    @dmetalii 2 года назад

    If they were not racing would they still be capsizing? In other words, could they tack and jibe without capsizing if they weren't trying to sail as fast as possible or are they taking more risk than necessary?

    Didn't know this was done, at sea.
    Spectacular indeed.
    Part of that: the slam gybes. (Is that common in a Laser?)

    • @lucassanders7758
      @lucassanders7758 3 года назад

      With this much wind it is common. Almost inevitable actually.

    • @josesimasyt
      @josesimasyt 3 года назад

      The idea is to gybe going down the wave so that the pressure on the sail is reduced but it is very hard to do it properly because the Laser's helm is not very responsive. I sure capsized many times gybing and there are a lot of people afraid of gybing.
