The RC Laser is a scaled down version of the famous "one design" Laser, the most popular "real boat" sailing class in the world. The RC Laser, however, does not require a trailer, life jackets, or hours and hours of set-up time before you can be in the water and sailing. The RC Laser was designed to be up and sailing out of the box in under 7 minutes. There is no need to learn about epoxy glues, Kevlar and Fiberglass construction, or sail design. All you need is 2 feet of water, a desire to sail, and some wind. Just snap in the keel, mast, and rudder assemblies...slip in the batteries...clip on the sails and you are ready to go. It IS that simple.The R/C Laser is destined to bring a whole new group of people to the R/C sailing world, those interested in competition without the worry of design.
