The Laser is one of the most popular boats in the world! With over 225,000 sold, the production numbers speak volumes of the adaptability and enjoyment of this single-handed boat.

Designed by Bruce Kirby and Ian Bruce in 1970, three interchangeable rigs of different sail areas can be fitted to the same hull for a given combination of wind strength and crew weight. The lightweight hull makes for a fun ride and promotes quick skill improvement while also allowing for car-top transportation.

The Laser, known also as the ILCA Dinghy, has been an Olympic class boat since the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. With sailors in 120 countries, its wide acceptance is attributable to its robust construction, simple rig, and ease of sailing which offers competitive racing due to tight class association controls that eliminate differences in hull, sails, and equipment.

The club currently has 5 hulls and 2 Radial rigs and 3 standard rigs with updated racing boom vangs available in the BoatShare program.  The fleet organizes additional sailing and education opportunities annually.
