The Laser 28 represents a significant moment in maritime history where the design philosophy of the world’s most popular racing dinghy was scaled up into a sophisticated cruiser-racer. Launched in the mid-1980s and designed by the prestigious firm Farr Yacht Design, the vessel was the brainchild of Performance Sailcraft. The objective was to create a strict one-design class that offered high-performance racing capabilities while maintaining enough interior volume for a four-person crew to weekend comfortably. Built using then-revolutionary vacuum-bagging techniques with a PVC foam core and Kevlar reinforcements, the Laser 28 achieved a high strength-to-weight ratio that remains impressive by modern standards.
