Helpful to beginner, even better for improving sailor After sailing other dinghies for a couple of years, I started sailing Lasers this summer, and picked this book to improve my technique. The book's guidance definitely improved my abilities and helped me to tame this fantastic boat, which I sail almost exclusively now. While acknowledging the benefits of the book, the authors should address the uneven quality of the di. "It appears that the pages were photocopied and the picture quality is poor at best" according to Kristy R.. After receiving it I went back to Amazon to verify that the black and white pictures were original. It appears that the pages were photocopied and the picture quality is poor at best.. Disappointing If you want a book to help you help you understand how to sail a laser, this isn't it!As well as being very dated (it seems all the photos were taken in the 70's) subjects as vital as tacking is explained in four bullet points, with no photos.
