Matthew doing a walk over on a Laser

[pugzzz94]

but very good either way!

[pugzzz94]

not that i am critisizing but ive always called it a dry roll

[hagenar]

The 4.7 is better for kids than the standard, which is what I used at that age. Though I could reef the sail, It was very difficult to get the sail out of the water if the wind was blowing.

wow he is really young to sail laser. At my club you have to be 15 to sail a 4.7 or radial- mostly 4.7

[xseb5x]

@LUCASgProductions I'm no expert sailer and I was sailing a radial at the age of 10-11ish and I did just fine. I did it maybe like 5 times at least for quite a while, and I never capsized. As long as you understand the fundamentals of sailing, and understand how to right it when it capsizes/turtles. They're incredibly fun to sail.

i love doing that especially when the water is cold so i dont get cold

[sailafeva]

Is it just me that calls the move in the video a "dry capsize" or is it just called a "walkover"??

Very good for a 11 year old to learn young that when your boat goes over you dont "need" to get wet.

[ripdaodb]

@sailafeva that's what i've always called it, but they all work i guess

[xseb5x]

@sailafeva I call them dry rolls. Your terminology is also just fine, as that is essentially what it is.

[Planefast]

Mathew just turned 11 when he did this walkover.

[sailindude1221]

nice.

[sailindude1221]

how old was he when he got in a laser?

[sailindude1221]

Im 13 and i can do a walkovr easily

[kaiser442]

Awesome! I knew this could be done but I've never seen it.

I've always opted for the "SHIIII - *Sploosh*" option

[BavAuto54]

hahaha i'll have to agree with you one that one.

[hidzor]

i must say nicely done

[vpigfacev]

Smooth!
