Laser Racing at WRSC 2013

The Laser is a single-handed, strict one-design and Olympic class that is sailed enthusiastically 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 accommodate varying conditions, sailor weight and sailor ability.  Each rig only requires a different lower mast section and sail.  A great boat you can learn in and never outgrow.

Friday Evening Racing  Laser races are held each Friday evening May 3rd through August 30^th, 2013.  We try to have approximately 3 to 6 short races each Friday with an informal cookout (burgers, crab cakes, etc. for sale) after racing. Order your dinner before the races and enjoy talking with other sailors afterwards.  The racing starts at 6:00 pm and generally ends about 7:15 pm.
