| Description |
Laser II Regatta is a modern high performance racing boat for a crew of two, in the style of the Laser single-hander and with similar regard for the strict One-Design concept. Laser Regatta is a powerful boat coming readily on to the plane, and competition is keen. Sail control has been kept simple deliberately in order to keep costs down, but the standard racing boat includes spinnaker, spinnaker chute, trapeze and tracks for jib leads. |
