Reaching Broadly: Kingston Day 6
http://reachingbroadly.blogspot.com/2015/07/kingston-day-6.html
A dinghy sailor old enough to retire but who continues trying to get his Laser (and occasional other boat) into a watery groove. Sunday, July 19, 2015. It was a good day for me - even though it rained a bit. Three races and no last places - Wahoo! First race an OK start but then, as usual, losing places on the upwind. I tell myself I am a bit light (around 78 kg) and that is why I suffer upwind. Maybe or perhaps a lack of skills? At any rate, in every race, I do much better downwind or on reaches. Anothe...

Reaching Broadly: June 2015
http://reachingbroadly.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
A dinghy sailor old enough to retire but who continues trying to get his Laser (and occasional other boat) into a watery groove. Wednesday, June 10, 2015. I have had very few real sailing lessons and no doubt learned much more slowly and with many more bad habits than I would otherwise. Yesterday, I had a lesson with Owen Bowerman, a young visitor from the UK who is on the Team GBR. Third, my roll was not timed well with the boat’s turn. This made all the difference. Sunday, June 7, 2015. Sailing in the ...

A dinghy sailor old enough to retire but who continues trying to get his Laser (and occasional other boat) into a watery groove. Monday, July 20, 2015. Well, all good things must come to and and Kingston did, on a bright sunny day with light breezes. I had two decent races and, hallelujah, I did not end the regatta in last place - wahoo! In fact, I had 2 twelfth place finishes today - my best scores. Sunday, July 19, 2015. It was a good day for me - even though it rained a bit. As I did in this race - de...

Reaching Broadly: May 2015
http://reachingbroadly.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
A dinghy sailor old enough to retire but who continues trying to get his Laser (and occasional other boat) into a watery groove. Friday, May 8, 2015. My first Laser Battle. Post described a confrontation between Burton and Stipanovic. Here is the followup. Tillerman already knew the answer but gallantly abstained from posting a spoiler. You can read the decision. See Protest 36). The following is my take on it. And that strategy is perfectly legal as long as it is done within the rules. And, given that t...

Reaching Broadly: September 2014
http://reachingbroadly.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
A dinghy sailor old enough to retire but who continues trying to get his Laser (and occasional other boat) into a watery groove. Saturday, September 20, 2014. I have been experimenting lately with 2 techniques you probably know about or use - to hopefully keep the vang and mainsheet a bit more manageable. For the mainsheet, it is, instead of making a stopper knot, tying the end to the back of the toe strap, the theory being that it will never tie itself into an overhand knot or worse. Several times about...

A dinghy sailor old enough to retire but who continues trying to get his Laser (and occasional other boat) into a watery groove. Saturday, May 24, 2014. For Men Laser Sailors Only. Has this ever happened to you? You are hiking out in a nice breeze and suddenly you sail into a wind hole and you have to scramble back into the boat, sliding in as quickly as possible, grabbing onto something to pull on. How can it be avoided? Monday, May 12, 2014. Dare I Admit It? First race was not so good - mediocre start ...
