Laser Fleet Print E-mail
Our biggest fleet with a 20-year history. The class attracts excellent turnouts: 20 plus over the winter for each race and in the summer we still muster around 15. There are over 50 Lasers berthed at Island Barn so you can be sure of company whenever you sail and whatever your standard.

Laser sailing and racing presents a unique set of physical and skill based challenges. Fast Laser sailing requires an advanced level of fitness in order to endure the straight legged hiking and body-torque techniques required to get upwind and reach quickly. Downwind sailing is unique in that Lasers can both sail by the lee and reach. Fast Laser sailors switch back and forth between these two points of sail to surf and sail around waves.
