The Laser is the world’s most popular adult racing class boat. True to box one design standards, each Laser in the world is identical ensuring the best sailor on the water wins the race, not the boat. The Laser is a challenging boat that rewards athleticism, subtle steering and trimming techniques, as well as the tactical excellence of the sailor. The Laser has been raced by young and old alike from the Club level all the way to the Olympics. It comes in 2 different hardware versions XD, for racers and the ones looking for a more thrilling sailing experience and the Race, more suitable for the leisure sailors and club racing. Each hardware version has 3 rig possibilities, the Standard , the Radial and the 4.7 for the heaviest/more athletic to the lighter and younger sailors.
The world’s premier racing dinghy. The Weekender (name of the first prototype), with “TGIF” (Thank God It’s Friday) on the sail was designed in 1969 and quickly revolutionized the racing world with its speed and simplicity. It was called Laser in November 1970 and the production started the same year. It was launched at the New York Boat Show, its uniform design and affordable price attracted sailors and 144 Lasers were sold. Laser sails were identical due to modern laser cutting thus setting a standard for future racing classes. Today this timeless design is by far the most popular adult and youth racing boat worldwide. It is raced by many of the world’s top sailors and has been an Olympic class since 1996. The Laser’s full size rig rewards athleticism and is best for heavier, more experienced sailors, but it can easily be converted to a Radial or 4.7 by changing just the sail and bottom spar. When you race a Laser, one hull goes a long way. Just changing the lower mast and sail, you can convert any boat from Laser to Radial to 4.7. The advantage of this interchangeable formula is that you can easily switch boats as you become older, heavier or more experienced. Each rig helps you prepare for the next, so you get a step-by-step progression that can take you all the way from a beginning racer to World Champion!
The Laser has 2 hardware versions and 3 different rigs. Each uses exactly the same hull and foils, by lower mast and sail will make it suitable for a wide variety of sailors. This offers a unique step-by-step progression that makes it easy to switch models as a sailor change in age, ability or weight.
Two hardware versions to fulfill every sailor needs
- XD – For the ones looking for more performance – Carbon Fibre Upper Mast – Carbon Fibre Tiller and Extension – LaserPerformance Vang
- Race – For Recreational Sailing or Club Racing – Aluminium Upper Mast – Aluminium Tiller and Extension – Holt Vang
Three rig versions to suit every sailor
- Standard – 7.1sqm sail for heavier and more athletic sailors
- Radial – 5.1sqm sail for women, and lighter sailors
- 4.7 – 4.7sqm for youth and lighter females
The Laser is a true sailing phenomenon
With nearly 200,000 boats in 140 countries, it is clearly the world’s most popular adult and youth racing sailboat. Each year the Laser Class runs more races worldwide than any other class. And it’s still going strong! For almost four decades, the Laser has been a sailing success story. One reason is the boat’s sheer simplicity. From its very beginning, the Laser has offered an uncomplicated way for sailors to experience the joy of sailing and the thrill of competition. Many other qualities combine to make the Laser a legendary performer.
Effortless design
The Laser was created to get sailors on the water with minimal fuss. It has a lightweight hull that’s easy to carry and cartop. The two-part free-standing mast and sleeved sail make the boat easy to rig. And the simple layout means sailing is a breeze.
Strict One Design
The Laser is one design boat like no other. The class association is very strong and has strict class rules, so every Laser around the world is identical. This means races are won by sailing ability, not by equipment advantages.
Interchangeable formula
The Laser comes in three distinct models – the full-rig Laser, Laser Radial and Laser 4.7. Each uses exactly the same hull and equipment, except the sails and bottom spar can be changed to fit a wide variety of sailors. This offers a unique step-by-step progression that makes it easy to switch models as a sailor change in age, ability or weight.
Racing pedigree
Because Lasers are simple and identical, they provide exciting competition and a great chance to develop racing skills. Many of the world’s top sailors come through the Laser ranks, and both the Laser and Radial are current Olympic classes. No sailor is too inexperienced or too advanced to race a Laser. That’s why Lasers last a lifetime.
Superb value
The Laser’s simplicity, popularity and one design nature make it very economical. The Laser Class limits and controls go-fast extras, thus the boat will never be outdated, which explains why Lasers have such a high resale value. Whether it’s a local club race or the World Championships, every Laser has exactly the same chance of winning. And a young sailor can go all the way to the top of the sport in the same hull. That is Laser’s simple formula for success.

I actually bought my Laser from Sailing Pro Shop. Just another option for those looking.
How much can I expect to get for my laser. It is three years old and sailed only a few times. It is not banged up at all. It was stored in our garage over the winter with a cover. We paid 15,000 for it. We are in NH, the lakes region.
