I would be more than happy to come and coach the Hunts Europe girlies but I am currently booked to coach everyday until August 15th... so I might want a little rest after then!!!

I showed the clip to my Europe girlies here at Hunts and they found it useful, particularly as some of them are struggling upwind and this technique works well in a Europe. I understand about the fuller sail at the bottom; without it you'd just be slow. I tried it in the Europe in the big wind this morning and it worked well. Maybe Jon might like to think about coming up to Hunts to do some Europe coaching?
I'm looking forward to the footing clip because I think that's what I need in the contender, if I can ever sail it again. |

I think its great when people take time to produce and make available training and coaching videos such as the one above.
Jon is a professional coach but these clips are available to all. I find them very useful and always share them with the young Topper sailors I coach. Am looking forward to the "footing" clip to understand how to avoid just dropping away to leeward without going faster! |

Yes it is a shame that the horizon is not quite correct, in the camerman's defence it was much more wavy than it looks.
To be able to point higher (without having to sit in the boat) you need more power. In a Laser having a deeper foot provides more shape in the bottom of the sail which also helps you to point higher. When footing you obviously need to depower the sail (and maybe even sheet out) so you can sail lower without the boat heeling too much... I hope to get the footing video up later today |

Jon - You mention that you have the foot fuller so you can sail higher - that goes against any logic i can think off. Why? can you explain please

Can't think what the ice boats are called now where they are pretty much boat shaped and you tack by running forwards and backing the jib, and they use xmas trees as marks? Seem to remember they are capable of gettingacross holes in the ice, too. Sure we've had vids of them on here before, if someone with a better memory can help?

how about keeping the horizon level. it was difficult to see how upright the laser was sailing with the horizon angled over.
