A little bit ago, when we had some big wind and big waves, one of our Laser sailors turned over and had a little trouble getting back up. Then he just sailed home again. When I talked to him afterwards, he said he just knew that if he flipped again he would be on the verge of being too tired so he sailed back to the club. I think that was smart. Know yourself. Add the skills slowly if you need to. But you need to be strong to sail competitively.
On the same note, a few years ago I visited with a Laser sailor who had been an accountant, but for family reasons had taken over a lawn care business. Now he was outdoors working with his body and muscles every day and felt that his Laser sailing had greatly improved.
Get strong Laser sailor.

You guys are all lucky Jack didn't sail Lasers!
ReplyDeleteHe was our hero. All that swimming in the cold bay waters. I swam in that cold water with Walter Stack and ran over the big bridge with Walter when I didn't know any better.
