Lasers at Fishers Green
Just like every other sailing club in the world, there are more Laser dinghies at
FGSC than any other class of boat. The Radial is now the designated Ladies'
Olympic single hander. With 50 boats in the dinghy park and one of the most
competitive and friendly groups of sailors you will find anywhere, if you fancy
your hand at sailing this Olympic class single hander, there is no better place
to start your Laser sailing career than FGSC. Laser sailors here come in all
shapes, sizes, ages and abilities from youngsters graduating from Toppers
and Oppis to helms with many years' experience. Whatever your age,
experience or gender, you will find the Laser fleet at Fishers Green to be not
only welcoming but generous with advice and guidance to any newcomer.
The Club has a Laser with all three rigs available for hire to Members at
nominal cost.
Fishers Green has held an annual Laser Open Meeting for many years, and
this event is an established part of the Laser UK inland racing circuit.
