The Laser 4000 Class Captains Peter
and Cheryl Taylor say:
 |
The Laser 4000 is a fantastic single trapeze
asymmetric dinghy which is weight equalised for competitive sailing.
The boat caters for a wide spectrum of abilities as it is
forgiving to those who are just starting out in high performance skiffs
yet gives great racing to those who are more practiced.
Peter and I have been sailing the Laser 4000 since 2006.
We spent the first season or two getting to grips with sailing
together, we now enjoy racing at the club and at various travelers in
both Scotland
and the UK
circuit.
If you would like to have a shot then please let Peter
or I know as we can lend you one of our boats to try out.
