How to Start in the Laser/ILCA || Complete Laser Starting Guide
Starting is one of the most important part of any boat race. Getting a good start can make or break your race. In this video, I'll show you the techniques that all the top sailors are using, when they use them and go through real life examples.
Getting a good start is useless if you don't have a good plan for the rest of the race. I've also created a handbook with all of the 'checks' that I use as part of my prestart routine to help plan my race.
The handbook can be found here: sail27.com/blogs/news/#PreStartGuide
