Reply To: sailing to windward in strong gusty weather

I don’t mind admitting it, Mike. Sailing a laser is better than not sailing at all.
Back on the subject of windy weather, I wouldn’t be very happy going up wind with the kicker down: suppose there comes a scream of ‘Starboard’ from about 6 feet away under the sail? You’ve got to tack!
