The Laser is a single-handed one design boat.  Many of the world’s top sailors perfected their sailing techniques in a Laser.  Over the years, three different rigs have been created so that sailors of different ages and weights can learn on one.  There is the original Laser, Laser Radial and Laser 4.7.  The only difference between the three is the sail area.  As every Laser is identical, it proves that it is the capabilities of the sailor and not just the boat that produces a winner.
