Title
International Laser Class Association
Description
Maintains One Design Rules: When the Laser was first introduced, a set of rules were drafted which at the time were very different from other existing classes. These other class rules listed a number of prohibitions which led to developers trying out new ideas if the idea was not specifically prohibited. The result of this is that quite often older boats became outdated with a subsequent loss in value. The Laser rules are different in that they prohibit ANY changes unless the rules specifically allow a change. This means that a 10 year old Laser is the same as a brand new one and as a result holds its resale value far better. ILCA plays an important part in keeping the Laser rules strictly one design by preventing changes and providing a measurement structure that maintains the one design.
Creates excellent magazines and newsletters: The amount and quality of literature available to a Laser sailor is high compared with most other classes. ILCA's newsletter LaserWorld is prepared by the International Office and distributed throughout the world to supplement the many and various publications produced by the Districts. A truly international newsletter keeps everyone in touch with class activities and helps the class to develop evenly throughout the world. This is one of our greatest strengths. In many other classes a lack of international communication has caused groups of sailors in different counties to become isolated and the class in that country to become extinct. This fall off in activity eventually affects the class in established countries leaving only the truly international classes well supported.
One of the greatest things about our boat is that it offers a huge amount of fun and family pleasure to all ages yet at the same time it satisfies the desire for excellence and a physical test at the highest level in the Olympic Games. The Laser is something very special. 165000 owners have been attracted to its simple charm and continue to be attracted at a rate of nearly 4000 new boats per year.
