The ride is smooth; the sailing position is perfect and the confidence factor high thanks to a real ‘sit in’ feel. Its handling and performance will impress the enthusiast and tempt them onto the race track, yet it has the versatility to allow you to take it easy. You can even have difference power for different days thanks to the unique reefing system, single line hoist and drop gennaker and furling Jib.

Laser 2000 offers the excitement of performance gennaker sailing to those who, until now, had felt it was the exclusive domain of the very top sailors.

Here is a sailboat born for club racing with a dynamic yet forgiving hull shape. An easily controlled “Combi-tec” mainsail and rig that is ideal for less than experienced sailors for whom the Laser 2000 has years of built in progression.

The laser 2000 provides lots of leg room and a deep cockpit, which is reassuring for new comers. The self draining cockpit ensures that everyone stays dry and the high boom allows complete freedom.

Launching and recovery is simple. The lightweight robust launching trolley is perfectly balanced: on most slipways a young teenager can launch single handed. What’s more, the Combi-tec mainsail means that unlike many new generation boats, Laser 2000 does not try to take off before you are ready.

All Laser 2000 owners can enjoy an events programme combining great venues with both race training and race action.

There is a top family atmosphere at all events and lots of parent and child combinations on the race course and in the prizes.
