| It's no secret that many of the world's top sailors perfected their skills in the Laser. Olympic Medalists, America's Cup Helmsmen, and Collegiate All-Americans all raced the ultimate one-design. With over 170,000 boats constructed to date, the Laser is the Gold standard in single-handed, one-design sailing. The Laser, designed by Bruce Kirby, was built on the philosophy that the sailor wins the race, not the boat. Every Laser in the world is identical. Strict class rules guarantee that it is the sailor, not the equipment, that makes the difference. Laser racing is a true test of skill.
Laser Performance now offers three rigging levels for each of the boats in the Laser line; they are now available in either Laser, Laser Race, and Laser XD.

So when you're ready to race, get into a Laser Radial.

LOA: 13'10” Beam: 4'6” Draft: 2'7” Sail Area: 50 Square Feet Hull Weight: 130 Pounds Colors: White hull with gray deck The Laser 4.7 class is built on the same fundamental philosophy as the Laser class: strict one-design rules mean it’s the sailor, not the boat that wins. By using a standard Laser hull, blades and deck fittings but a smaller rig, the Laser 4.7 is the perfect boat for youth sailors who would like to stay in a singlehanded boat but may not be big enough to sail a Radial. The Laser 4.7’s rig is designed to match the Laser’s unique handling characteristics and performance. The Laser 4.7 Class, administered by the International Laser Class of North America, is growing quickly throughout North America. The Laser 4.7 puts young sailors on the path to a lifetime of sailing the world’s largest, best, and most rewarding singlehanded classes.
