Vanguard Laser

The world’s most popular adult and
youth racing sailboat.

Effortless design: The Laser was created to get sailors on the water with minimal fuss. It has a lightweight hull that's easy to carry and cartop. The two-part free-standing mast and sleeved sail make the boat easy to rig. And the simple layout means sailing is a breeze.

Pure class: The Laser is a one-design boat like no other. The class association is very strong and has strict class rules, so every Laser boat around the world is identical. This means races are won by sailing ability, not by equipment advantages.

Interchangeable formula: The Laser comes in three distinct models - the full-rig Laser, Laser Radial and Laser 4.7. Each uses exactly the same hull and equipment, except the sails and bottom spar can be changed to fit a wide variety of sailors. This offers a unique step-by-step progression that makes it easy to switch models as a sailor changes in age, ability or weight.

Racing pedigree: Because Lasers are simple and identical, they provide exciting competition and a great chance to develop racing skills. Many of the world's top sailors come through the Laser ranks, and both the Laser and Radial are current Olympic classes. No sailor is too inexperienced or too advanced to race a Laser. That's why Lasers last a lifetime.

Superb value: The Laser's simplicity, popularity and one-design nature make it very economical. The International Laser Class Association limits and controls go-fast extras; thus the boat will never be outdated, which explains why Lasers have such a high resale value.

Whether it's a local club race or the World Championships, every Laser has exactly the same chance of winning. And a young sailor can go all the way to the top of the sport in the same hull. That is Laser's simple formula for success.

Customize your Laser: Once you pick a Laser, Radial or 4.7 (see features and specs at right), there are several ways to make the boat fit your particular sailing requirements. Each model comes in three configurations - Standard, Race or XD - so you have more choice in selecting the level of equipment for your hull:

STANDARD: Includes all basic gear you need to start racing the day you buy your boat.

RACE: The Race version provides equipment upgrades for sailors who want to step up their game.

XD: The XD version includes equipment specified by some of the world's top Laser sailors for competition at the highest levels.

See the Laser Performance web site for a detailed equipment list for each version.
