I must say, I own three boats, 1 Boyer MK IV A-Class, 1 Tornado (Classic Rig) and 1 Laser. The Laser is 1) fun to sail 2) A blast in really high winds (throw on a blown out sail & old mast and hooting in 30+ 3) easy to setup and rig 4) easy to transport (cartop if needed) 5) in the water in 5 minutes and 6) did I say a real blast to sail in high winds when you don't want to snap your mast, pitch pole, due $$$$ of damage to your real baby!!!
