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.

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.

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.
