Goofy feet

I may not have made it into his Blog Top 10 but Tillerman wrote about my feet this week. Ever since he wrote that he'd learnt where to put his feet when sailing the Laser downwind, I've been pestering him to let me in on his secret. Now he has. I tried it last night in a 15 gusting 20 knot wind and it feels great. At first it seems strange lifting my foot over the toestrap instead of under, but once my feet were safely jambed into the corners of the cockpit it worked like a dream. It almost felt as if I was steering with my feet and not the tiller.
