Pluses and Minuses!
By Johannes Gessler - July 30, 2010I bought this book for my 15 year old nephew who just bought his first used (and pretty beaten up) Laser. I'm probably guilty of making him do so: I have sailed Lasers for the past 20 years and let my nephew out on his own on mine for the last couple of years, ever since he was heavy enough to get it upright again after capsizing...
As so many books of this kind, it is trying to serve everyone's needs. But that's really impossible to do. While many things discussed are excellent for the beginner, many times the language used makes only sense if you have been sailing for quite some time. The book puts a lot of emphasis on racing the boat, yet for the new Laser owner this may be in the more distant future. The book probably makes the most sense for a somewhat experienced sailor who decides to buy a Laser and plans on racing it. A young sailor will frequently struggle with the technical terms. And there is not that much more an experienced sailor couldn't learn on his... read more
Missing Critical Information
By David - March 19, 2010This is a good book if you're looking for information on technique and tactics. However, I found the section on how to rig the Laser to be extremely lacking. The book uses a large amount of jargon or technical terms that are not clearly explained, and talks about various knots without actually showing how to tie them. For example, it says to "make a handle" with a piece of rope, and then has a picture of a neat little rope handle. How to make such a handle is not explained anywhere. This book is fine for beginners who don't need to rig their own boats or intermediates who want to better their technique (particularly how to trim the sail). However, it's not very useful for someone like me who already knows basic techniques, but isn't great with rigging and knots.
With a name like "The Laser Book", you would expect it to be a comprehensive book that covers everything you need to know about how to get a Laser going. Unfortunately, without a better rigging section and... read more
Great starter book!
By Daniel Stanfield "BibleSanity.org" - January 6, 2009I'm new to sailing, and learning on a used Laser. This is the book I should have bought first! There's a lot of beginner content, and a lot of stuff for me to work up to. This book will help take you from zero to competant.
