what's that like turtling in seas? I had to turtle at sailing lessons but it was in a small lake (reservoir)

He is looking for darker patches on the water, wich means higher pressure(gusts), you can use these to speed up and when you are going upwind you can luft up in a gust. These gusts are often what cause less experienced sailors to capsize because of the sudden increase in pressure. A good sailor will always see these coming and it is good to constantly be looking out for them because 1 good gust can change if you win or lose a race.

I know a club that has a division just for lasers you bought for under 1K AUS (S#$@t-box Laser Class). Mine was $180 ready to sail!!! (No it is not the greatest / most beautiful laser on the planet, but hey!)
