Bala has a strong fleet of Laser 2000s. The fleet has been growing steadily over the last few years. The popularity of L2Ks at Bala perhaps reflects the growth of the class in the UK with more than two thousand boats sold in ten years. Laser 2000s appeal to families and racers alike. The strong Class Association runs an active racing circuit but also a family orientated "L2K play".

If you are interested in sailing a 2000 then come along one weekend. The fleet is very freindly and we should be able to fix up a joyride!
