The four different sails
A, B & C Rigs in drawing form Ever wondered what's inside? We have often wondered what the inside of an RC Laser looks like so we took a saw to one and chopped it in two! Don't panic it wasn't a useable hull but a scrap one that couldn't be used. ![]() So there it is, the inside of your boat, it is interesting to see that the thickness at the aft end of the hull is much greater than that of the bow section. ![]() A view along the hull length ![]() The mast step is fused to the hull during the moulding process adding stiffness to the mast step and its tube RC Laser in a BagSo what will I recieve when I order my boat? The RC Laser and its component parts have been designed to fit neatly into a bag which means everything you need for a days sailing is in one place which not only keeps things neat and tidy, but it also means that your whole boat including rigs can be placed in the boot of your car or on the back seat. The bag itself is much like the bag you'd get for a rudder and daggerboard for a full size Laser dinghy. It is well made and padded in the right places to protect your boat and gear. So, here it is, the bag itself and how to make everything fit! Your bag as delivered What the sections are for All of this WILL fit in the bag with ease, trust me! Sails go under the flap. You'll see that the A sail doesn't quite fit, I'll explain that later! Keel and Rudder fit in the section at the right hand side of the bag, note the velcro to keep the keel in place. Hull in the bag, we are getting there! Your spares can be placed in the velcro pocket at the rear of the hull The transmitter fits neatly under the flap, over the spares pocket. Once in place the top of the A sail can be draped over the top of the transmitter. Not an ideal solution, however a good way to stow your sail to get it to the lake! And there we have it, everything in the bag, there isn't a photo of the masts, however they lay along the crease of the bag, and you'll easily fit all four masts in there. This was photographed with an old style bag, there have been some modifications made, but the principle remains the same!

Latest News22nd April 2021 - Well that was great. We saw around 40 boats on the water for our first week of Park & Launch in Abersoch. Blue skies were the order of the day and although it was quite chilly on the water it was great to see so many smiling faces return to the yard. We are now working on getting the rest of the boats ready for Mayday weekend, the first Abersoch Banky of the year! Hopefully the weather will play ball. 31st March 2021 - We reckon you'll be boating in Abersoch before too long. We are hoping to open our Park and Launch service in Abersoch on the 12th April 2021......we'll see you there for beers and boating!
11th March 2021 - When? Well we'd like to be open again from the 12th April which would be lovely. Whatever happens we will unfortunatley miss Easter 2021 due to lack of guidance from the Welsh First Minister and the stay local message which will be in place in England. We will be getting boats ready for the season over the next month so that as soon as you guys get the green light to be here we will be ready with boats and tractors to get you on the water. In the meantime, stay safe.
