| The
Laser has been called the world's premier one-man racing sailboat. With over 150,000
Lasers sailing in 85 countries, this boat has motivated more sailors--from juniors to
masters--to excel in the sport than any design in the history of sailing. It's fast,
responsive, lightweight (cartoppable), and virtually maintenance free. The Laser's
accessibility and modest price make it an Olympic sailor's dream. Designed by Bruce Kirby in 1969 and first produced in 1970, the Laser caught on during a boom period for recreational sailing. However, the design has proven its ability to survive more trying times as well, reaching its current level of popularity with minimal backpedaling over the years. Perhaps it is because every sailor seems to come in contact with the Laser at least once in his or her sailing career, and the boat is so endearing that many cannot continue racing without getting back to their Laser roots at least once in a while. Though the Laser is offered with three different rig sizes for different weights and skill levels, it is the International Laser that made its Olympic debut in 1996. With 76 sq. ft. of sail and a hull that measures 13'11", the International Laser is ideal for the singlehanded sailor of 150 pounds and over. |
