I was recently searching around on YouTube for tips on roll tacks. I am also interested in the tiller exchange which is a move that I need to refresh since I last raced a dinghy in the 1970's. This video by Ian Eliot and friends does a great job of breaking down of light air roll tacks into eight steps and right at the end gives us with one extra step - the tiller exchange They use video from the Royal Victoria Yacht Club Race Team. The Salientian channel also has other videos including one on light wind jibing, using the tiller extension to get hold of the main sheet.
Welcome to my 100 Races blog. In April 2012 I bought a laser dinghy to compete in club races on Sydney Harbour. My last dinghy race was in 1970 so I have a bit of catching up to do. I use the blog to store ideas about Laser racing and to make the occasional observation about issues that affect life in this harbour city. The tabs have advice from the laser bloggers and authors that I admire. Many are listed in the blog roll.

Good find - a good breakdown that seems practical - will try it in a few days.
