Lazers are great, but as im really busy with flight training, if you want to buy a practically new laser, shoot me a PM. I dont really have time to use mine much more, and it'd be better off going to someone who will enjoy it.


Nice!  We're low on money at the moment... But we'll see!

Well done OOgly. Sailing is a really nice sport and hobby. Ive been sailing for 32 years now and never tire of it. Sailed alot of regattas locally and crewed on a few larger regattas and they are fun. The best sailig for me tho is stuffing the family in the boat and go out into the ocean and far away on "expeditions".

Way to go on the bullet and keep it up. I've been racing since I was seven and could not think of a better sport to be apart of. Once you move out of opti's or ever need any sail trim/tactics advice, feel free; the link is in my sig.

What you perceive to be upwind at the start, isn't necessarily upwind any time after that.  Plus with sailing on the lake you are at or close to the shore, one section of the lake can have an entirely different wind then others.

It's either luck, or more likely that he knows the waters better then you do.


My best piece of advice for you is to avoid 420's and FJ's like the plague at all costs, and try to get onto a 29er.



I would have replied earlier, but I was sailing / partying this weekend at a friend's house.  We got a Sailfish out, which was so much fun.  Incredibly hard to sail, and a lot faster then a Sunfish.
