Builder's Remarks
The Vanguard Laser is designed for simplicity. The hull shape, blades,
and rig combine to create the ultimate sailing machine. Every Laser in
the world is identical, and strict class rules ensure that remains true.
The Laser is a challenging boat that rewards athleticism, subtle steering,
trimming techniques, and tactical excellence. The lessons the Laser teaches
will translate to virtually any boat, so sailing a Laser is an investment
in skills that last a lifetime. Laser sailors are a community of great
people who enjoy racing sailboats for the camaraderie as well as the competition.
There are more than 1,000 Laser events in North America every year. |
