Laser- The Ultimate One Design!
It's no secret that many of the
world's top sailors have perfected their skills in the Laser. Olympic
Medalists, America's Cup Helmsmen, and Collegiate All-Americans have all
raced the Laser. With over 170,000 boats constructed to date, the Laser is
the Gold standard in single-handed, one-design sailing. The Laser,
designed by Bruce Kirby, was built on the philosophy that the sailor wins
the race, not the boat. Every Laser in the world is identical. Strict
class rules guarantee that it is the sailor, not the equipment, that makes
the difference. Laser racing is a true test of skill and athletic ability.
The Laser is a challenging boat
which rewards athleticism, subtle steering and trimming techniques as well
as tactical excellence. The boat is available in both a standard and
"Pro" configuration.
