Laser Funboat


Introduction To The Laser Funboat
Laser funboat

The Laser Funboat is designed for the newcomer for sailing or for general fun sailing. Its an extremely simple boat to rig, maintain and sail. It can rigged very quickly by simply sliding the sail along the mast, pop the mast into the boat and the rudder on the back and your are on your way.

The hull is made from Tecrothene A122 provides a unique combination of strength and rigidity. It is easy to repair and highly resistant to scratching/impact damage. This means that owner can sail the funboat up a beach without worry. As for maintenance, five minutes with a jet wash from time to time will do the job.

The shape and design of Funboat means maximum stability, ease of sailing and fun for all. There's lots of stability wherever passengers sit. Most small boats have a centerboard that needs to be lowered when going afloat - and raised when coming back. Funboat's unique shape means there's no need for a centerboard. So no hassle leaving or returning to the beach. The boom is very high which means lots of room underneath.

Readers Comments
Stability is reassuring for beginners, but shallow tray shaped cockpit uncomfortable for the less fit. Good for two people sunbathing and bobbing about, though. Performance is maddeningly slow in light winds. It is impossible to tack through the wind in light airs and unreliable even in a moderate breeze. You have to gybe most of the time. Most fun and reassuringly stable in stronger winds.
