The Laser fleet has been active at the Club since the early days. There are close to 40 Lasers at NSC with boats regularly turning out for dinghy regattas and Master class (Adult) events.
The Laser is the “full rig” designed for adult sailors, usually adult males due to weight requirements to be competitive. The Radial uses the same boat, lower mast and boom, but a different mast top section and a smaller sail better suited to younger youth sailors, women, and lighter men. The Laser is a great all-round boat, simple, affordable, a blast to sail, and can be raced all the way to the Olympic level.
