It is a great bit of boat handling by probably the best sailor to set foot in a laser ever...
The thing that really bugs me about that video is those little creases that come from the mainsail where the mast joins... NOT!

Yes, best sailor of a Laser.... The revolution in boat speed that came about, especially in a breeze, through his time in the class was phenomenal. Having raced against him, as well as various other olympians, he is the one I would say was most untouchable in a Laser.

hasn't filtered down though has it or the class PY's wouldn't get slower every year- i'd say "best" would be sharing ideas, maybe best of his era

I am sure a certain R Scheidt and B Ainslie might disagree with you there.

They may well do, but having raced against all of the above I am probably better placed to make the judgement than most. I agree that our Ben may be the greatest olympic sailor of all time, but boat on boat in a laser in their prime, Slingsby would be quicker.

p'ah... not quick as a replica slingsby would be, and they're cheaper.

Don't like emoticons. They are for feckless youth.
