The Laser Radial or ILCA 6 is a popular
one-design class of small
sailing dinghy, originally built by
Laser Performance. It is a singlehanded boat, meaning that it is sailed by one person. The Laser Radial is a variant of the
Laser standard, with shorter mast and reduced sail area, allowing light sailors to sail in heavy winds. The International Class is recognised by
World Sailing.
