Owyn in Barnsley said:At our club you can only switch down to a radial if you want to be heckled and generally laughed at for being a big girls blouse so I'd recommend learning to sheet in and out faster than lightning.
Owyn in Barnsley said:Yep, it's a club of men, drysuits are also frowned upon.
Merrily said:Well, that sounds like a warm and fuzzy club, and it seems counterproductive for using the best go fast techniques, such as cleating and steering with body weight. Fortunately, I haven't heard of any of the guys getting heckled for the rig they choose at my club or in my travels in the district. I guess we save our heckling for football.
Cleating the mainsheet and steering by body weight would have to be classified as a "go slow" technique.
haha after reading that and watching the youtube video all i can say is wow...Hi, I have a Laser Standard, but due to my weight, I need a smaller sail for stronger winds. Would a radial sail fit on my laser without the need to change the mast?
