Laser Sailing is Many Things
Laser sailing:
Is Transforming
The joy and delight of sailing, racing and personal growth all await Laser sailors. Time well spent on the water lifts the awareness and overrides harmful stress.
For the Mature Sailor
Master sailors (those over 35 years old) are often more ready for the total experience of Laser sailing. This athletic boat, like sex, is wasted on the young, powerful kids who dream of Olympic medals.
Celebrates the Basics
It’s only one sail and one sailor. You can just set almost everything once and then let them be and still go sailing. No difficult decisions about expensive equipment.
Provides Complexity
The complexity of Laser sailing isn’t absolute; one starts with simple challenges and only takes on the interrelated complexity as the basics are mastered. Complexity is there when you’re ready, but can keep its mouth shut too.
Appreciates Physical Stamina
You can just sit there and enjoy the water, but to get the thrill you need to begin to tone your body a bit. What a deal, a reward for exercise.
Rewards Ability to Control Emotions
Emotional resilience, regulation of mind-set, capability to adjust your point of view, all of these pay dividends on the race course.
Likes Awareness
Buddha never sailed, but his attitude would have made him a quick study. Laser sailing rewards those who can stay in the moment and sharpens that ability for those who engage with the challenge.
Thrives on a Sailor’s Ability to Laugh
You’re in your bathing suit and for all appearances you’re trying to get wet in the most contorted, silly positions; and what else can you do when your little boat tips over and tries to slide you into the water.
Appreciates an Eagerness to Learn
Laser sailors populate the top echelons of most world class racing. The Laser presents so many opportunities to refine your techniques and hone your unconscious competence that it is a launching pad for professionals.
