The ILCA (nee-Laser) is a single-handed racing dinghy, sailed by Olympians but also sailed every weekend across the world where sailors young and old just want to “fang about". Each dinghy is virtually identical whether they are brand new or 10 years old, making it the sailor that wins the race, not the boat. The ILCA Laser is a challenging boat that rewards athleticism, fitness, subtle steering and trimming techniques, as well as tactical excellence. It is a singlehanded Olympic class boat for both men and women and is sailed at the local yacht club, national and international levels. With over 225,000 boats in 140 countries, it is the world’s most popular adult, youth and family racing sailboat.
