~Popular racing class for small adults, women and youth.
The Laser Radial is a new Olympic class for 2008, based upon the same hull and equipment as the regular Laser. The combination of a 19% smaller sail and a shorter, more flexible mast create an excellent medium sized rig. Everything else is unchanged. The Laser Radial is raced at club, national and international levels.
Draft: 2 ft. 6 in.
Beam: 4 ft. 6 in.
Standard features: Smaller radial sail allows sailors with a smaller physique to experience Laser sailing.
Radial cut orients the cloth with the loads and improves the sail's racing life.
Lower aspect rig lowers the sail's center of effort.
Sail is 14 square feet smaller than the Laser full rig sail.
The bottom mast section and sail can be replaced to make the Radial into a Laser.
Shorter, more flexible lower mast section enables lighter sailors to depower easily.
All control lines are identical to the Laser.
Sailed at World Championships, National Championships, and hundreds of events at the local and international level each year.
