HOW TO SAIL THE LASER CLOSES.

THIS OLD FELLOW CAN'T MAKE THE STUFF WORK ANYMORE SO I WILL CLOSE THIS BLOG.  I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO IT.  THERE IS A LOT OF GOOD STUFF POSTED IN THE PAST SIX YEARS AND I PRINTED IT ALL OUT SO AT LEAST I WILL HAVE IT.


SOME OF IT IS PERSONAL, BUT NOT MUCH.


I HAVE TACLKLED THE "FUN THING" MORE THAN ANYONE.


I AM STILL SAILIJNG SEVERAL TIMESW A WEEK ALL YEAR LONG AND GOING TO THE GYM 3 TIMES A WEEK --- I HOPE THE SAME FOR YOU...     SAM

LASERS STUMBLE

Failure  is a success if we learn from it.

LASERS THINK.

   THINK ABOUT SAILING.
Need 10,000 hours to get good.
Need time ashore.  Don't hurry off to sail.  Rig the boat.   Check the lines.  Change them if they are wearing.   Check the tell tails.  Clean the top and bottom.  Bailer working?  Check the blades, tiller and extension.


Need practice time.  Now get out of the water.  Starts. Tacks. Transitions. Mark rounding. Gybes.  360s. 720s.


Get someone to practice with you.


Need to play with the boat.  Turn over.  Walk around the deck.  Sail backwards. Get a kick out of sailing it.


Now you are ready to race.

LASERS TAKE THE LONG WAY.

There is no short cut to
                       a worth while goal.

LASERS LOOK BACK AT 2013

This post is without a picture because my picture thing doesn't work.
I had 15 posts in 2013 and 7 of them are worth reading.  I have said about all I can about sailing this little boat ..   Now just saying some of the things a different way.


TAKE A LOOK AT THEM.

LASERS HOPE.

Hope is a thing with feathers that perches in the soul,

LASERS TRY

Persistence and excellence are joined together.
