LASERS TRY TO SAIL BETTER.


Get out on the water more.

Tack, gybe, round marks, stop and start.  Don’t just go for long reaches.

Get some of the Laser books.

Get some of the Laser DVDs.

Get in as many of the races as you can.

Try to sail against folks better than you.  Ask them for help.

Get to the gym.

Ride your bike.

Move your weight nearer 170 to 180 pounds.

Do you have other thoughts??

    Beyond a certain point I don't find that more racing makes me better. Sometimes I have to step back and think about what i need to improve and then work on it on my own until I have it cracked.

    Yes, especially the folks that sail on salt water because after a while things start pulling apart. If you can manage, a new one every one or two years.
