Laser 2

Laser 2

The Laser 2 is an exciting, ISAF recognised, International One Design racing dinghy which is ideal for couples and lighter weight crews (less than 150kg total). The combination of a trapeze for the crew and a large spinnaker ensures exciting sailing. With a tough hull, it works well off any beach, and the traditional spinnaker gives greater flexibility of racing venues and courses than is found with the newer asymmetric dinghies. Nationally there is a friendly fleet and well-established, active UK and International class associations. It can be bought new for around £5000, whilst championship condition second hand boats sell for upwards of £1000. Author: Mike Croker
