The international laser, an Olympic Class sailboat, is quite likely the worlds most popular single-handed one-design dinghy, rivaled in numbers only by the sunfish.
With regattas and fleets all throughout the country, this boat is the ideal fun day-sailer that you never outgrow. From learning the basics to doing an Olympic campaign, the boat has it all.
With an un-stayed cat rig and light, 130 lb hull, the laser is very easy to rig and transport. The laser also has rig options for smaller sailors. They are the Laser Radial and the Laser 4.7
