I'm trying to figure out of my girlfriend would be able to handle a full size laser so we can go play in 2 boats.
I know she ideally would do better in a radial, but it triggered the question:
What is the ideal height + weight for a full size laser under various conditions. What about for a radial?
And I don't want to discourage anyone from sailing, since we all have seen "wide loaders" who are master sailors kick tons of butt on the course (at least upwind)...and we've seen light-weighters catch everyone downwind... but I was just wondering for academic curiosity...
I'd like to make a table. Wind Speed in one column, Weight range in another column, and then ideal body height range as comments.
What do you think?
