[edit] Features

The Laser 2000 hosts a number of convenience and family-oriented features:

  • Single-line hoist system for the gennaker
  • Furling jib allows easy storage of jib for downwind sailing and single-handed operation
  • Configurable for single- or double-handed sailing
  • Foam sandwich hull construction uses glass-reinforced plastics to save weight and increase buoyancy over plywood & fiberglass construction
  • Large cockpit allows for up to four passengers, suitable for competitive or pleasure sailing
  • A single trapeze system, with lower shrouds, is available, though this must be removed for events run under the class rules.
