Laser ~ The world’s most popular adult racing class.
The 4.7 Laser features the same hull as the Laser and Laser Radial, but with a smaller sail plan that is more manageable for lighter sailors. The Laser 4.7 is the next step into competitive sailing after the Bug, Optimist or Pico.
Every Laser in the world is identical. The strict one-design class rules ensure this remains true, making it the sailor that wins the race, not the boat. The Laser is a challenging boat that rewards athleticism, subtle steering and trimming techniques, as well as tactical excellence. It is a singlehanded Olympic class boat, also sailed at club, national and international levels.
The Laser Radial is a new Olympic class for 2008, based upon the same hull and equipment as the regular Laser. The combination of a 19% smaller sail and a shorter, more flexible mast create an excellent medium sized rig. Everything else is unchanged. The Laser Radial is raced at club, national and international levels.
Radial ~ Popular racing class for adults, women & youths.
4.7 ~ The next step after Bug, Optimist or Pico.
