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!

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!

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.

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!
