just because you CAN sail an Opti when you're 15, doesn't mean you SHOULD sail an Opti when you're 15
maybe you are just jealous of all of those optis kid out there doing what you NEVER got to do. and there probably way better than you and you just don't know how to be happy for other kids like them.

try trimming more... you come out fairly slow.
you need to come out faster to get the actuall "roll"

not groovy at all 3 years ago

you need more roll
less splash
and less windward heal

your second tack was fairly slow, make sure to get your weight more forward in the light stuff. little less rudder too, and really let the boat tack itself

There are over 150,000 optimists out there. Just because you don't care about how to tack an opti doesn't mean no one cares. And if you can roll tack an Opti, you can roll tack just about anything. I could never roll tack an opti, but I wish when I was 10 I had seen this.
