29ER
The 29er came about due to the desire for a high performance youth boat following the success of the skiff type boats spearheaded by the 49er. It is constructed from hi-tech composite foam sandwich, with an ultra-lightweight and self-draining cockpit. The rig has fully battened Mylar sails with a self-tacking jib, supported on a composite-tipped mast. It is not a beginners boat but the 29er provides performance at an affordable price, for crews between 110 - 135 kg, making it an ideal boat for husband/wife teams as well as for younger sailors.

Vago
A recent dinghy from laser, the Vago incorporates versatility with sail combinations for a range of different sailing environments. The sub-chine area of the hull is designed in a way to promote early planing, whilst the tuned rocker profile enhances manoeuvrability. At deck level the sides have been flared out to provide good righting moment, enhancing buoyancy, whether hiking or on the trapeze and offers added space in the crew cockpit area. The Vago comes in two versions one of them has more sail area and a trapeze.

Wayfarer
The Wayfarer is an ideal day sailing/cruising dinghy or racer that's exciting, dependable, and simple to sail. The boat is easily handled by a crew of two, however a family of six can sail her in comfort. Her ability to make long, open-water passages has been demonstrated many times. With a beam of 6 feet (1.8m) and a double chine hull, the Wayfarer is inherently very stable and very difficult to capsize. A retractable rudder and centerboard allows sailing in shallow water and easy beaching. The large fore and aft watertight buoyancy compartments can also accommodate everything needed for a week's cruise.
