The Laser is a highly regulated one design class with authorized manufacturers. You can not build one from plans - it would not be accepted as a Laser. There are many alternatives to the Laser of similar size, performance and capability, but the Laser is not possible as a self build.

If you wished, you could take off offsets from a Laser hull and build a Laser-like boat using the same rigging, but it would not be a Laser.

I have found model of laser on www.delftship.net (in design database). It's only shape of hull.

Hello do you know the US patent numbers of the Laser sailboats? I have found the 5163377, but i'm not sure, the model displayed on it has a long keel wich seems to be part of the hull...


Thanks!

I'm not sure what boat you're referring to, but the Laser is a centerboard dinghy and doesn't have a long keel, or a noticeable keel of any kind. It must be another boat.

You are right PAR, the 5163377 is from another sailboat designed by Bruce Kirby. I've found another, the 304922 in the attached image I think it might be.

I've looked too other Lasers descriptions (Radial, 4.7, M, and Rooster) and photographs, do you know the differences between them and the standar?

Thanks!
