Laser - Comeback von John Bertrand USA

In the ancient times of Laser racing, John Bertrand USA succeeded to win two Laser World titles in a row 1976 and 77. Age 50+ now, he gave a comeback on the Laser at last year's Miami Olympic Classes Regatta (MOCR) after just one training hour. For this year's edition - the MOCR begins next Monday, a preview follows tomorrow - Bertrand has been preparing his participation more carefully. He gives some interesting comments and comparisons on the development of Laser sailing during the past 40 years in his weblog. Btw, Bertrand was racing in the famed legendary 1974 San Francisco Laser-Slalom. Here as a revival the video thanks to Youtube for everybody. Times to remember, when we wrapped the sail around the mast to reduce the sail plan in strong winds !
