About the Boat

The most popular singlehanded race boat in the world. With over 210,000 made, the Laser is enjoyed by everyone from club racers to Olympians. The Laser rewards practice and good sailing technique, keeping even the most seasoned racer engaged. Current Lasers are built to the highest specifications with updated foils and sail controls. A three rig system allows the Laser to be enjoyed by sailors of any size and skill.

There are three different sail sizes available on Lasers. The largest one is the Full Rig (also sometimes called Standard Rig) which is 76sq feet. The next size down is the Radial Rig at 62sq ft. The smallest size sail is the 4.7 Rig at ~49sq ft. The different sail sizes roughly correspond to the weight of the sailor, but can also be used to compensate for different wind conditions.
