lasers

Enough boys, enough! 
To be honest Callum, I thought that "outburst"  of yours would be at home in a primary school playground !  Did you know who Prince Buster (the real one) was before HRH came on the forum? 

Then there's HRH himself... Chill out, dude. Life is too short to be taken seriously .

Now, I hope you will all play nice from now on - Thank you xxx

To come back to the topic,

Originally posted by Prince Buster Hi, does anyone know the optimum weight bands for sailing the laser 4.7, radial and standard rigs. I keep getting different opinions from everyone and I'm not really sure what to make of it all.  I'm 50kg and was sailing a 4.7 but now it seems like all the racing is in Radials.  I find it really difficult when it gets windy but I'm not sure whether I should just put up with it to get some good racing or should go back into the 4.7.  How heavy should one be to sail a Radial competitively?

There's a table of crew weights for the 3 different rigs (in stone, sorry).

Just a question: from your profile, I see you're very young. At 15, you probably haven't reached your adult weight. Are you likely to switch to another boat next year or can you consider growing into a Radial? Besides, all optimum crew weights are only a guide. If you're a good sailor, you can tune a Laser, can't you?

Radials at least are notorious for people pulling cunningham eyes out of even brand new sails trying to get more tension on, dont ya just love smods?
