Best Answer

The ideal weight to get maximum speed on a Laser is about 150 lb. There are a lot of variables but in very windy conditions you need at least that much weight to counter balance the boat. A lot also depends on your agility and skill in being able to hike over the side of the boat. In lighter winds or in any downwind tacks ( broad reach or run) the boat would be faster with a very light person ( small kid). The boat is very tender ( sensitive) to wind gusts so a very quick response is needed in gusty and strong wind conditions.

The boat is a lot of fun to sail and will plane ( skim on top of the water) very easily in strong winds. I used to demonstrate this boat when they first came out. An experienced sailor in a strong wind can get some incredible performance out of this very light boat.

Do you know if laser surgery is approved for acheiving weight loss?

Laser surgery is not in and of itself a weight method. Laser surgery is used whenever possible in place of conventional surgical techniques because it is less invasive and recovery is faster. Laser liposuction is used to remove excess (stubborn) fat from specific "problem" areas, but it is not used for general weight loss, particularly in obese patients.
