ICLA/ Lasers at FGSC

The ILCA / Laser dinghy is a popular class of boat at Fishers Green SC and has proven extremely competitive at our lake throughout the year. ILCA/ Lasers take part in Sunday and midweek summer racing, alongside class events and FGSC hosts an annual ILCA/ Laser Open Meeting every year .

With three rigs to choose from, the ILCA / Laser appeals all a broad range of ages and abilities. The Club has four Club Lasers with all three rigs available for hire to Members at nominal cost.  This can provide the first steps into racing for someone not yet owning their own boat, and all members new to the class can expect help and support.
