International Laser Class
The International Laser is a single handed class which caters for sailors form 14-85 years of age. The laser class is split into three sections based on the size of the different sails that can be used with the boat. Due to this the Laser is a popular class in Victoria and growing at Mornington. Currently we have youth sailors transitioning into the Laser 4.7 and adults sailing in both the Radial and Full Rig size sections. Mornington is proud to have past national champions and world championships representative in the Laser as members and in the coaching team. Contact person: Rhett Gowans |
