Message from Bruce Kirby, Designe r of the Laser
It has been a great pleasure to work with world model yacht champion Jon
Elmaleh in the dev elopment of this radio-controlled miniature Laser. The
basic hull shape is a one-quarter scale Laser, but of course to m ake the boat
work at the much smaller size and with n o crew aboard to act as ballast, we
had to develop a model yacht-type keel and rudder and slightly reduce the
sail plan.
I have been overjoyed at the result. The bo at sails and handles exceptionally
well over a broad range of wind and sea conditions and is faste r than I ever
expected it could b e. We have kept the rig and control systems simple so
that, as with any good one-design, success on the race course depends on
the sailor, not the boat. And as a purely recreational sailing model it is quick
to launch and easy to operate.
So climb aboard with your imagination. You will f ind that the thrill is there, but
your muscles won’t get sore and if you don ’t sail in the rain you will stay dry.
