RACING / TRAINING

Designed by High-Performance Guru Frank Bethwaite:

The Laser 2 features an easily driven hull for high-speed planing performance. The two-piece rig and one-design sails provide a simple powerful engine.

With a large spinnaker and a large pole stowed on a boom trolley, the Laser 2 excels off the wind; and, when you reach the leeward mark and prepare to douse the chute, you'll appreciate the built-in bow launcher that gobbles up the chute and stores it for you.

Specifications:
LOA: 14'5"
Beam: 4'8"
Sail Area: 124 sq. feet
Spinnaker: 110 sq. feet
Hull Weight: 170 lbs
Mast Height" 19'2"

Handcrafted in the USA

Features:

  • Spinnaker pole trolley system stores the long pole along the boom with one hand operation
  • One-design class sails eliminate the "sailmaker arms race"
  • Ports with storage bags are water tight for spare gear and food
  • 170 lb. hull and flat deck are ideal for car top transportation
  • Kick up rudder
  • High-aspect airfoil blades
  • Adjustable jib leads
  • Lightweight, planing hull form for control at top end speeds
  • Bow tab keeps the sheets from under the bow when the water is flying
  • Spinnaker bow launcher tube and belly cord makes setting and dousing the huge spinnaker a snap
  • Two piece step tapered rig with diamond shrouds allows turning adjustment
  • Jib leads recessed, eliminates body and gear chafing hardware

The Laser 2 class is a thriving one-design organization that hosts events from the World Championship all the way down to your local and regional level. The ISAF, US Sailing, and the Canadian Yachting Association have all chosen the Laser 2 for numerous youth championships.

The Laser 2 is the ultimate high-performance youth trainer. It is a fantastic stepping stone to Olympic classes like the 470 and 49er. Like all LaserPerfomance products, the Laser 2 is delivered ready to race and win. Ready for some high-performance, double-handed action? Get on a Laser 2.
