The Laser 5000, designed by Phil Morrison in 1992, represents a pivotal moment in the "skiff revolution" of the early 1990s. Developed by Performance Sailcraft (Laser), the boat was a highperformance, twintrapeze contender for the 2000 Olympic games. Although it ultimately lost the selection to the 49er, it established a lasting reputation as a robust, incredibly fast, and democratic racing machine. Unlike many of its contemporaries that relied on fragile carbon fiber constructions, the 5000 utilized a GRP and foam sandwich layup that prioritized durability. This construction allowed the boat to withstand the highload stresses of twintrapeze sailing and frequent capsizes, though it earned the tongueincheek nickname "the 5tonner" among purists due to its heavier hull weight compared to the 49er.
