I have stumpy little legs so I have to depower early - I don't have the right build for a Laser, but I've been racing them for 17 years & it's the finest group of sailors in the world, so I'm sticking with the class! Above 15 kts, I go upwind better with a radial, but I give up too much on the downwind compared to a full rig. Also, this vid was heavily edited from 1 hr of raw footage, the winds were up & down & my cunningham was under constant adjustment.
i dont know how much you way but in winds like that u have farr to much downhaul on
