Calling all potential Laser 4.7 sailors
Do you sail a Laser Pico? Getting too big for it? Wonder where to go next?
A laser with a 4.7 rig could be ideal. The 4.7 is the smallest of the 3 rigs designed for use on a one design Laser. The sail is smaller than a Pico Race main but the boat is much faster – particularly off wind when it really flies.
We have several younger members sailing the Laser 4.7 already and it looks like 2009 will be the year when we really take off.
When you outgrow the 4.7 you can stay with a Laser by moving up to the Radial rig.
The Laser Centre are loaning us 6 boats for use at Thorpe Bay over the end of May bank holiday weekend – 23/24/25th. Please email me at [email protected] to add yourself or your child to my list of those interested.
Parents. A secondhand Laser need not be expensive and if you are selling a Pico the difference could be a lot less than you think. Laser have sold over 190,000 Lasers since the early 1970’s so choice and availability is excellent. Provided that you buy sensibly you won’t lose money when it’s time to sell either.
Email me at [email protected] or call me on 07768 571768 for buying advice.
