Laser Vortex

Laser Vortex

Designed by Jo Richards and awarded the "Sailboat of the Year" title on its introduction in 2000, the Laser Vortex is a high performance sailing dinghy. It is a tunnel hulled single hander, that has a trapeze and an optional Asymmetric spinnaker.

The development of the Asymmetric 'kit' by Association Chairman and keen Vortex enthusiast Keith Escritt has brought new life to the class, with over 100 boats now flying the asymmetric option.
