Standard features

1985 Laser 28, fractional rig, inboard, $15,000. This is a club racer’s dream as it has spent its entire life on a Hydro Hoist and has never been in the water more than three days at a time. But if you don’t race, it is a week-end, day sailor’s revelation. It is fast, responsive and comfortable to sail with a large cockpit, well designed equipment layout and 5’10” head room. Fractional rig means smaller, easier to trim headsails and the mainsheet is 4:1 with a split end that doubles the purchase. And you don’t have to be an expert sailor to do well in PHRF racing as it can be sailed to its handicap by enthusiastic, but average sailors.
