9 months ago the bellow comment was a dream. 5 Days ago I got my first medal on Laser Standard. Current weight 84.900 kg !! Thank you for the inspiration!
This was a summer i'll never forget,this makes me proud to be british.Every single london 2012 video i watch brings a gut wrenching feeling that its gone,so many happy memories of our small island nation coming together and showing the world we love everyone........
Man I miss racing lasers and 470's! The starts were always very chaotic as we all jockeyed for the best start position, everyone yelling 'STARBOARD!", near misses and sometimes crashes. I truly enjoyed the strategy of the sport as well, stealing wind, looking for good wind and smoother water. Nothing beats the sound of a humming centerboard on a fast broad reach!
Brian Campbell Good an ya Roy! Brian your a nit picking non-correct ass. Are you a school teacher who is crap at his job?? In case you missed it he also mentioned 470's which can have humming centreboards, which I agree is a sweet moment especially on a broad reach if the wind is blowing enough! Happy Sailing Roy whatever your craft now...
45 secondes d'écart entre le 1er et le dernier, c'est dire le niveau, chaque mètre, chaque seconde, chaque manoeuvre tactique comptent, c'est vraiment le haut niveau !!!!!
How cool is this. My very first and own sailboat was a Laser. I learned how to sail on that little fast boat. I never was able to make it fly like these pros did, but it was a blast to sail in all conditions.
@@MsPlaybook NZL is starboard though. They cross again in a few seconds, and NZL ducks if that's what you're looking at. Anyway I also just watched again and I think you can just make out NZ yelling "Protest!"
Man I'dlove some captions on this, the ambient/course audio is so loud that I can't reasonably listen in while working *studiously* in the office.. I swear I am working hard on this fresh and beautiful Friday!
Near the end when he was starting to say it was inevitable, I was worried Slingsby might do a death roll. I'm glad I got to see one, at least kinda. :)
Why do you give away the winner in the title? It ruins it for anybody who hasn't seen the race yet. The title should just say "Men's Laser Sailing Gold London Olympics 2012."
I thought I understood sailing but apparently not, why are you focused on AUS and CYP if they are in 9th and 10th place. Also if they're in dead last how is he the gold winner????
Late reply but describing how it works (based on what I've read): 1. There are 10 opening races before the medal race, where all of the ~40 qualified sailors will race. 2. In each race, players are awarded points based on their position. For example, if I got 1st in a race, I will get 1 point and if I get 5th in the subsequent race, I will now have a total of 6 points. 3. After all 10 opening races, the points will be added up. Here, another thing that happens is that the race with the lowest score for each sailor will not be considered. 4. So if I come 1st in 9 races and 20th in the 10th race, my score will be 9 since the committee would've removed my 20th place finish while summing up the points. 5. Based on the above calculations, the 10 sailors with the lowest scores will move on to the medal race. 4. The medal race has a similar scoring system however the points double here. For example, Simon from Germany who finished first would now gain 2 points instead of 1, and Slingsby who finished 9th would gain 18 points. 5. Now the total points including the medal race are summed up, and the top three (the three lowest scorers!) receive their medals. Now this shows how insane Slingsby's performance was during the opening races, as he could have very well not even raced the medal race and would have still won a gold regardless. Kontides from Cyprus was the next best contender, which is why there was a focus on them despite both of them being 9th and 10th respectively. Hope it was clear!
I `m trying to get back to Sailing after long break and i wonder if i should go back with Laser Standard or with a Finn .I Started to hit the gym pretty hard so i can shape up and i`m currently 94kgs with aim to get 85 lean. I may be able to get Lase cheaper than the Finn so could you please advise if 85 kgs is good for laser i`m 182 tall . Thanks
Thanks very much mate. I`m on a strict diet and training 2 times a day to reach that however having in mind my Broad back/shoulders and mesmorph build i may only be able to go for Finn. Anyways Thanks ;)
+TheLads Update i dropped to 87 Already ;) And today will be my 4th official Standard training. Demn that boat is brutal. 2 hours training and i`m spent as dead. Thank you.
+Krasimir Naumov as it is mentioned tom slingsby is 83kgs so you'll be fine weighing that much :) even if you start training with me more regularly you'll be able to get quota for the olimpics in brazil
@@archie2281 yeah but there's a point with outhaul where the sails got so much curve in it the wind detaches halfway across the sail so you're sailing with less power (?)
@@MontyD correct but what he has on isn’t close to that point. I think the guy who’s ranked the best laser in the world knows how to use controls properly

I love sailing and i think its a very underrated sport
I agree, but I think fencing is the most underrated and misunderstood sport.
I do rowing and I understand how you feel
Sailing isn’t a sport, its an experience.
SaddenRain it sure is a sport, it is really hard to keep the boat straight and you need to do that full time.
SaddenRain than u only sailed big boats.

Lasers use dagger boards. Broad reach is not really fast.
Why exactly? I simply corrected him.

Very beautiful tacking of Tom at 30:00.
That tack was money
I’d be turtled before the start
creo que una de las regatas mas completas y bonitas que uno puede ver...gracias contides gracias tom slingsby...los dos sois maravillosos.gracias.
42:25 is an insane cross by GBR
NZL had to duck
@@MsPlaybook what do you mean? I think they probably let GBR cross
Starboard, NZL had to tack behind
@@MsPlaybook NZL is starboard though. They cross again in a few seconds, and NZL ducks if that's what you're looking at. Anyway I also just watched again and I think you can just make out NZ yelling "Protest!"

Just love the sailing duel's in this video.

The Kiwi commentator is brilliant!

12:28 that was a sweet double tack by sweeden.
It’s at 12:18 but yea I agree
This looks EXHAUSTING
57 people sail hobies
I can sail
Lol
thanks!

My guy this is from 2012 if you don’t know already that’s on you
I agree 100% with you!
Realistically this would have half the views without the Tom slingsby name drop in the title
Greetings from a Greek laser sailor!
i went and watched the medal race for the finns it was fantastic would have loved to seen the lasers too as thats what i sail

Well, I’m not a laser girl yet, but I will be after I beat some Op races
anyone else annoyed that they kept proncouding pavlos kontides name wrong
Nice video :)
I have no idea what's happening.. just waiting for a collision but it never happens
i love sail
Why did the Cyprus sailor didn't go for the win? he didn't had what to lose... Tom Slingsby is a great sailor. well done for him.
i much prefer the irish commentated one
Lovely finish lady.
So good to watch again and get some inspiration to go hard LOL
Such a good broadcast

Spade Bennet 85 is 2 kg over the optimum weight. It's 72-83 kg for the standard. Your height probably fine aswell.

I’m a newbie , what was the mistake of pavlo? Was in the starting?
Who else here is Australian
This is why I sail laser
how many knots was the wind blowing here? I need this info for a school project.
At the beginning, they say 16-17 knots. But of course, conditions can change mid-race.
When's the time when the finalist wins?
Should I buy a new laser or a old one
what's the channel?
why the spoiler title?
Haha No kidding!
Standard. The women race radials
1970 #3812 Chesapeake Bay
Sailing isn't a sport based on athletic ability, its mainly about the strategy
What kind of sailing have you been doing?
21:07 couldn't Pavlos have sailed under Slingby and forced him up? Drawing a penalty?
No, because Slingsby would have just instantly rolled him
Oh. I thought german racer pass the final line first.??
Would love LOVE to race there...
Awesome
30:00
What happens if a sailor falls out of the boat?
the boat capsizes
I can sail one of these
カッケェ
that dont look like 15-16 knots
how come they don't have gloves?
are these laser standards or laser radials?
Radials i think
These are the standards, look at the title. Does it say Laser Radial medal race?

Странно что на фордевинде никто не вынимал шверт

this is why few people watch sailling. I'm in the industry and love it but this video has so much dead time. It is poorly produced.
Won't play on utube....... zzzzzzzzzz
why does some sailors put their windex in the mast up site down?
+Peter Johanean It stops main-sheets getting caught on it on crowded start lines, a useful thing to do in class racing.
+Alex Mayger Do you mean the mainsheets from other boats?
thank you for your answer
Yes
OK
But it shows the same Wind?
+Peter Johanean Yup. It's definitely worth doing it, has no disadvantages.

16:30 why's he got so much outhaul off?
That explains why he ended up last rounding the windward mark lol
Because he has the fitness to keep his sail full power for the whole upwind making him go faster
