Very very informative

May I ask how do you install the daggerboard bungee so as to not interfere with the compass? Thank you for the awesome videos

Kicker = Vang

That’s a really helpful video - working on which bits I need to adapt my current setup closer to this. I’d really like to know exactly what the configuration of bolts / shackle / blocks is in the assembly at the base of the gooseneck that anchors the outhaul and downhaul. That’s really neat but I can’t quite see how it’s done 🙏

Great video! Enjoy all the details explained!

Here is a product opportunity for the watch manufactures; sink watches with short wave blue tooth or induction, or a wire.

Great to see the adjustability improvements. Have sailed Contender class since 1973, and it evolved all of these controls by 1975, but all out to both rails to reach from the trapeze. Sailed the O’Day championship in 1975 and loved the Laser simplicity but the rigging back then was too primitive. The controls (and learning to set them for different conditions) adds to the challenge of racing. The vang mastnbase block is an impressive design. What Contenders were criticized for back then was just control line evolution like this video depicts.

hello everyone, how to make outhoul system like that?

Can somebody post the outhaul, downhaul and kicker blocks/set-up?

Sail Laser from late 80's to early 2000...Seriously from 1991 to 1997...Championships etc... Some win...!Sail Vaurien, Snipe, 470, but the Laser since I was a kid, started in 74 , Optimist of course... No "trainers" whatever, after pratical lessons "take it and go alone"...! And IOR boats, Offshore.. Etc.. Still got my old Laser... Very easy to put everything in 15 minutes or less... No complications... Some things was forbidden that time... Go to sea with force 4 or 5 and fast like a windsurf... Once won one, and finger up OK... In a National Championship in 1992, strong winds in Lagos, Portugal, the regatta was not canceled, 60% didn't go out, I go (had 73 Kgs... With a diving belt for weight...) to make some points, and after upwind, rounding and planning surfing, saw a much old guy shouting and thumb up with the ride...He just had one strong leg...! Great life lesson and Great reggata, 5 to 6 force... Saw him onshore, talking, he was Scottish... No hard feelings, but this video is the opposite of a real Laser... So many "shit"... Time, later will come... A Snipe, or 470 is a drag... About 40 minutes to putt all the things, mast, tunings etc... No pacience... Nowadays they complicated the tuning of a simple Laser.. Regards👍🎸

Which blocks is he using on the kicker?

Thank you for sharing this ! Found this info very useful and valuable. Subscribed.

your articulation of rudder and boat movement in waves (22:49) is very useful and confirms what I have been trying to achieve; thank you

Amazing video, thanks!

really great that you share all your knowledge and experience with us! thanks very much! this makes you a real sportsman.

Thanks so much for the videos and to all who contributed. So helpful to have world class coaching online. Have watched these several times over already!

Thanks a lot, very helpful

Excellent stuff. Cheers Micky

Thank you for running this series and posting the videos, I have found them very helpful and think it improved my sailing, but time will tell!

Good info here. Thanks for putting it out.

These are fantastic - more please!

Thanks! lots of helpful information!

Really enjoyed this and very inspiring to hear tips and techniques explained so clearly from such talented sailors. I did start to find the constant references to “girls” slightly cloying though.

Great video thanks for sharing!

So our boat is now an Ilca - takes a bit of getting used to. So when is UKLA to be re-named UKIlcaA? Many thanks for the video!

Looks amazing!

GREAT VID! thanks!

It is so much fun to sail I love it

2.25 WTF

Excellent 👍 ⛵️🎥

Pumped! Thanks for sharing. #ilcalasersailor

Great video!

These people look like hacks! Why does no one, except a few use a cam cleat for the main sheet? And how the hell do these clowns manage to capsize in such light air? How about pinching or release the mainsheet instead? Lol!

Some aggressive pumping at :35 😂

Very inspiring!

Somehow I doubt sheeting in with teeth is a recommended technique
