Tillerman Tuesday.
Laser sailors, Laser sailors, and more Laser sailors!
Annalise Murphy of Ireland dominates the field in the Laser Radial. Clocking four straight wins, her nearest competitor is 12 points back.
It's A Water World.
At The Olympics.
Opti.
I think it's time to get your sail refurbished.
Shallow And Sexist. (Tillerman Tuesday)
Phew, I thought they were talking about you know who. But it turns out that honor belongs to U.S. Sailing's marketing team. I guess the brain trust at U.S. Sailing finally figured out a way to attract more people to sailing.
Who knew that Laser sailors could be such free spirits or free with the spirits. I suspect bourbon.

If you always keep a camera in your pocket, you'll never miss out on capturing those magical moments of life. Here we see a Laser sailor demonstrating his athletic prowess.

Tillerman Tuesday.
I wonder if the Tillerman will be travelling south to sail his beloved boat in the world's largest bathtub?

Laser!
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
Oops! Oups ! Uy!
Moths can fly, but so can people.
He's just another guy who wanted to go for a swim.

Giddy up!
Are Laser Sailors Scary?
Mr. Google thinks that they are.

Oh my God, it's Clay Johnson! Run for the hills.
Wooooooo, Andrew Campbell. Spooky dude, spooky!
Laser sailors are scary good. So maybe Mr. Google stumbled upon the truth. If you want to be a good sailor, start out in a dinghy. Yes, even a Laser.
Thank you to the Tillerman for the inspiration.

Peekaboo, I see you.
Even great sailors can take a tumble into the sea and break a thing or two. Pobresito, amigo.

There's nothing like sailing a fast, seaworthy, and stable sailboat.
Scratch the seaworthy and stable part.
Wednesday Wipeout.
Eh, what the heck. I wanted to go for a swim anyway.
C. A. Marchaj -"To be seaworthy, a vessel must be able to defend herself against the incursion and peril of the sea." and "A competitive approach to sailing: above all, speed. Relatively small, overcanvassed and overpowered boats, suffering notorious lack of stability, dominate the contemporary racing scene."
Wednesday Wipeout. "Some Sailors Love To Fly."
Usually, they take off from an aircraft carrier.
It seems that Laser sailors aren't the only ones who love to show off their athleticism and sailing prowess.

Can you sail? from Simon kearns on Vimeo.
Sailing is a great way to impress a wahine, especially when you know what you are doing.
That was classic! Thank you Mr. Tweezerman.
What Is It, Joe?

It seems that our man in Hawaii, Mark Denzer, wasn't happy being the circumnavigator of Oahu. He's gotten into the inventing business and come up with a contraption that should bring joy to old Laser sailors worldwide. The only question I have for him is, "where's the cup holder?"
Opti Time.
The perfect gift for the aspiring sailor in your house.
