The Laser Radial is a popular One-design class of small Sailing Dinghy . 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 lower mast and reduced sail area, allowing light sailors to sail in heavy winds. In Europe the smaller Radial has surpassed the original Laser Standard in popularity, and even has supplanted the Europe Dinghy as the Women's Singlehanded Dinghy for the 2008 Olympics. The radial sail has an area of 5.7 square meters compared to the 7.06 square meters for the Laser Standard sail. |
