Seller's Description
Race Ready # 193975 Radial full rig and sails Trailer Dynamic Dolly Complete equipment
Cest la Vie is the Laser I used for racing over the past few years on California lakes, the Columbia River Gorge and the West Coast. I will be in Europe for the next two years and cant use it. I have not sailed at all in 2020.
Equipment: Super dry with port inspection Brand new top cover Colie Sails Bottom cover Radial and Full rigs Racing Radial and Full sails with additional training sails Carbon fiber racing tiller and extension Spare practice tiller and extension Top mast carbon fiber Spare top masts and spare bottom section New bailer and lines Very good Blades Spectra lines Lots of Laser spares Brand new Dynamic Dolly Trailer
All equipment, spares and sails are Laser / ILCA class legal.
Notes The photos show the # 152201 which was my old Laser. I also signed up for regattas with that number, but the Laser # is The Sylva compass was stolen last year even though it shows in the photo I also have spare mast and top sections My last regatta was at the Olympic Class Regatta in San Diego in September 2019. I found myself first at the weather mark several times, so this boat is competitive. But I would end up being too slow downwind
I bought the Laser from Svensen in 2010/2011. I was manufactured around 08/2008 and Svendens had charted it for the Worlds and a North American.
I renewed the title with DMV on Jan 21 2021, so the California sticker is good until 12/31/2023 The Mussel sticker is also good until 12/31/2023 (the mussel sticker is a requirement to sail some California lakes, including Lake Tahoe).
Registration up to date for the trailer as well.
Visible in Mill Valley, California.

10.8 kn
Classic: 4.83 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
47.4
>20: high performance
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
- ?
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
26.5
<100: Ultralight
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
2.0
<20: lightweight racing boat
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
3.6
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
First selected as Olympic class in 1996.
