The Laser SB3 was the largest class competing at Skandia Cowes Week 2007. A fast and exhilarating three man sportsboat with a modern powerful rig. Laser SB3 offers enthusiastic one-design and sportsboat racing in comfort. Close competition is guaranteed by one-design class rules for hull, rig and sails, banning expensive extras. Together with the no-hiking rule, a monitoring system at events to uphold the crew weight limit of 270kg ensures a truly level playing field. Drawing on Laser’s extensive experience in one-design sailboats and race circuits, the future of SB3 racing is a rich collection of the best events at top venues in the UK and Europe. On its custom built trailer, the Laser SB3 can be towed comfortably behind a normal family car and is easy to manhandle around the boat park. The mast is raised without the need for special equipment and it is not necessary to enlist the help of the local rugby team for launching.
