Laser

The Laser is the world's most popular sailing dinghy, over 190,000 Laser dinghies are sailing in over 120 countries. An exciting boat to sail, Laser dinghies are found in nearly every sailing club in the world.

We have two simple, interchangeable sails/rigs - the Radial rig (5.7m2 of sail area) and the full rig (7.06m2 of sail area), allowing you to get the feel for the boat before taking it on fully.

It is described as the ultimate one-design dinghy. Every part of the Laser is manufactured and controlled so that all boats have the same performance. The only difference is you, your ability to be quicker, smarter and fitter. This also keeps costs down and the focus firmly on development of skills rather than technology.

The sailing club has four lasers to choose from with three full rigs and one radial rig.
