A good start to the season, three Lasers on the water and 20+ knots of wind. Here's the DTP weather station report to prove it. [maximum gusts of 7 Bft!].
It's called a screaming reach because the helmsman starts screaming - a combination of fear and joy, though the water was cold and Robbie lost his glasses [but found his way home without them].
The trouble with a Laser is that by the time the downwind legs get exciting upwind has become a long hard slog.
