About the Laser Radial Sail

The Laser Radial was first introduced in the 1980s after the popular Laser standard was introduced in the 1970s. The Laser Radial sail and lower mast opened the Laser sailing dinghy up to other smaller people to sail in a variety of conditions.

The Laser Radial sail is 5.76m2 in size and is aimed at sailors with a weight between 60 and 65kgs. This size makes it around 19% smaller than a full rig. The sail uses the same top mast section but requires a smaller bottom section specifically designed for the Radial sail.

The class legal Laser Radial sails are white and come complete with a small sail bag and tell tales. The sail has three batten pockets which fit the standard Laser sail battens.

As standard the Laser Radial sails come folded, many sailors prefer to unfold the sails and roll them as soon as they receive them. This is so the lines in the sail added by folding can be removed giving the sail a better shape for sailing or racing.

How to identify a Laser Radial Sail

The Laser Radial sail is easily identified as it has blue corners where the Laser 4.7 and Laser Standard sails don't have these corners.

Laser Sail Extras

The sail only comes with the sail and bag, you might want to also consider:

  • Battens
  • Numbers
  • Additional tell tales

All of these items are available through our Sailing Chandlery website.
