Laser sailing in nearly no wind can often be frustrating, and feel like a bit of a lottery. In this video, I break down some footage from a subscriber of racing in less than 5 knots of wind, and point out some of the techniques you can use to master these conditions.

Dan brilliant videos. You're the first coach on youtube with a brilliant understanding of tactics & boat techniques. Please keep them coming, super interesting. Thank you. I like the race format of this video. Also, reviewing the Olympic sailors was so interesting.

I started Lasers in 1974 in Colorado, extreme light air...I would stand at the mast pre start...then sit on top of Cboard..

Sounds like a difficult technique to master!

Very helpful and practical tips. Light, fluky winds can be very frustrating.

Hello Dan - I am relatively new to the ILCA/ Laser trying to teach myself the how-tos with the help of KZfaq. I think this video is full of great insights. Keep up the good work!

A lot of those tacks would be called illegal and the fellow in the lead ...69 really fouled as he continually heeled his boat and brought it back to increase speed after the leeward rounding. No one will race in these conditions anyway. IMHO

Yes you're 100% right, many rule 42 violations here, but you're also never really going to race in these conditions
