I thought that it would be a good idea to post a video of the Laser slalom out in San Fran (thank you EB) given my post about the ice boating. This is an event that started in the 70's...big breeze, two boats, lots of gybes...chances of a wipe out...pretty high. I've included the video from the first event. It's fantastic! Great music, great wipe outs and great sailing! (check out the reefed full rigs!) So after the 2008 NA's the event was resurrected! SWEET! Check it…(and thanks to the Laser Class and joe cool video for the fantastic yachting documentation)
Now there is no doubt, this is cool...but can it happen outside of a venue like San Fran? I'm not sure. Is anyone else even trying?!?!?! Not that I've seen. If you don't sail...do you still get it? (Seriously, I would love an answer on that one!) Something to add to the list of things to make happen this summer? YES! Keep following....we're going to try to make this happen this summer at SSYC...and fear not, it will be documented.
Oh, and lets all take a moment to refelect on how epic that old school laser sailing was...40 knots!!!!
