What does the association do?

The UK class association was started in order to encourage class growth in the UK and to strengthen the sport's base through the introduction of new blood. The 'ready-to-sail' strict one design concept of the RC Laser offers the most potential in achieving that goal.

The association pulls together the community of RC Laser skippers in the UK. In doing so it provides skippers with opportunities of meeting together to exchange views, hints and tips on getting the most out of their boats and above all pit their skills against each other in the challenging sport of one design rc yacht racing.
