Laser Racing at WRSC	2007
The Laser is a single-handed, strict one-design and Olympic class that is sailed enthusiasically all over the world by young and old, novice and expert alike. The Laser offers the unique combination of exciting sailing, simple rig, portability, and highly competitive fleets. It offers three configurations to accomodate varying conditions, sailor weight and sailor ability. The Standard rig is the largest sail at 76 sq. ft., the Radial at 61 sq.ft and the 4.7 at 50 sq. ft. Each rig only requires a different lower mast section and sail. Many adult sailors will switch between the Standard and Radial rigs depending on wind conditions throughout the year. A great boat you can learn in and never outgrow. More information can be found at www.nalaser.org.
