i just found a sailboat on the side of the road abandoned with a free sign, it does not have a sail but it is intact, the size is almost exact to the one shown in the video, i have experience in sailing bigger boats but where could i find a sail for that size of a boat?
yes it is okay to drag in light winds, but why would you want to?!?!?! you lose speed , draggin is also a disaster in heavy winds, as the boom and sail are pushed back by the water effectively over sheeting the main, which could lead to an accidental gybe and dun dun duuunnn deathroll .. i've learnt from experience, its a sloppy habit, dont fall into it
What is the camera thing on the back called

We used the ViO Sport Camera back in 2008 but now the best camera for onboard video is the Sail Pro Camera with the carbon fiber stern mount.

On our DVD, you will see the importance of having the boom out of
the water during a jibe above 6 knots. But, when the wind is 6 knots
or lighter, the benefit of a big roll, is much bigger than the
disadvantage of the temporary drag caused by the boom hitting the
water. In the last Olympic games all Lasers sailors allowed their boom
to hit the water. In the video here, the sailor is European Champion,
who also participated in three Olympic games.

Everyone knows the Laser boom is water soluble. A wet boom spells disaster.
