HOW IT ALL BEGAN The Most Popular Raceboat Ever
When two Canadians, Bruce Kirby and Ian Bruce, got together for a couple ofdrinks in 1969, they knocked around some ideas about how to build the bestraceboat ever. On a bar napkin they rendered drawings of boats with only oneinstruction: make it cartoppable. They fooled around with weight displacement,sail area, and waterline length. What came out of trial and error is a designformula that revolutionized sailing and produced the worlds most popular
sailboat the Laser.
As sailors, Kirby and Bruce knew that if a boat was to become popular it wouldhave to challenge and teach all skill levels. Thats when they decided to keep thehull, but vary the sail sizes of the Laser to make racing available to men, smalleradults, women and youth. By making every Laser identical and accessible,the sailor always won the race, not the boat. This has become an importantdistinction for Olympic teams.
Starting with one version of the Laser, the design eventually became three
The Radial came at a time when the Laser was becoming popular in countriesoutside of North America and Europe. Around this time sailors started to noticethat the Laser had become a big deal on the race circuit. The Radial quicklybecame an adult racing class boat and for small adult, women and youth.
Following the success of the Radial, the 4.7 rig was developed in England in 1989.Once kids gured out they could master the 4.7, like top adult sailors master theLaser, the boat took o. The 4.7 was popular in Europe and Asia in the 90s, butdidnt catch on in North America until later. It is fast becoming popular withambitious youth and Olympic hopefuls in North America.
NOW THERE IS A BOAT FOR EVERYONE
Since the growth and popularity of the Laser trio, sailors have helped to designthe growing LaserPerformance family of sailboats. Yes, the Laser is superfast and ultra-popular, but also check out these boats we have developed overthe years. Julian Bethwaite designed the super fast ski 49er and Jo Richardsdesigned the revolutionary Vago that continues t o push the boundaries of dinghysailing.
As the LaserPerformance community grows we will continue to call upon sailorsand experts to bring you the best boats in the world. Well admit were a bitdemanding, expect the best and view top performance as a standard feature. Wewouldnt sail on anything less than a LaserPerformance sailboat a nd we wouldntexpect you to either. Thanks for continuing to hit the water with us. Were happyto sail with you.
