I am a laser sailor who has sailed a laser for two seasons. Despite my reasonable time sailing a laser, I am still struggling to get upwind Boatspeed. The boat I have started with the basics of laser but with aide from my club, is now rigged up-to-date. I sail a radial rig and weigh approximately 58kg. Of course, I struggle in heavy winds but in light winds, I am also struggling. The best I do is rig the sail so that there is no creases on upwind.
Should I foot or point, in heavy winds or light winds? I have read some books in lasers and nothing has really worked for me, I get on the start line and I just watch everyone zoom pass me, no matter my efforts. I have made this temporal hiking bench and have done a bit of hiking on that as well.
Please feel free to reply with any advise!
