The original design for the laser 2 had no spinnaker, then the regatta was designed with the conventional spinaker, then laser uk invernted the laser 2 fun which had a bodged bowsprit bolted to the foredeck and an asymmetric. This was then superseeded by the 3000 which is the same hull but a different deck. As for getting hold of bits, i doubt laser will have any knocking about, you could steal them of a dead one, or bodge your own. hopefully someone will know where another one is so you can work out what you need. |

laser 2 was the first, with conventional kite, with bags, and had coloured sails. The laser 2 regatta was a development mainly for the british sailors, where sails become white (remember the phrase.. racing sails are white!) and the kite bags were dispensed in favour of a spinnaker chute. Not sure about fun etc |

The Laser fun is a 2 with assymetric and not too sure but maybe cut back sails. The World's boat was a special edition of the boat which I think had anodised blue spars, and lots of lovely nice bits but still the same as the original boat, just aesthetically different. I had a 2 reggatta "accent", which was a lovely boat....... Edited by 49erGBR735HSC |

as you are only sailing the boat at club leave you could make your own spinni sytem and have the kite size that you want!! |

You'd be best sticking to the conventional kite for a 2, their massive for the size of boat, it would keep the boat in the Laser 2 category where you have a good class of boats plus three sail reaching in the 2 is really good fun, the bow pops up easily and we used to be able to overtake much faster boats by just sailing the boat properly. Have a look at the two class association site to see if there are any kites going cheap second hand.

Bloke at my club with a laser fun (no kite version) had his own bowsprit system rigged up by a fab shop (stainless tubes one sliding inside the other) and bought a 3k kite to fly on it. It ain't pretty but it works. He may still have the designs if you're really interested. Or just buy a 3k ....... PS: haven't we all had this conversation before ???

I actually preffered the Laser 2 to the 3000, the 2 seemed more demanding and i felt she was a little quicker, although the PY's say different. The 2 seemed more of a racing boat to me but that's probably because I raced 2s and did coaching on 3s
