Laser2000 vs RS Vision

But not when racing.

i think you are thinking of the bigger laser stratos

the vision is a fast boat and i have one and we are very pleased with it and would rocomend it to any one. we have had it for about a year and we have sailed it in force 6 and we flew and in light winds we moved guite fast. i would also recomend getting the trapeze option, the laser does not the trepeze. the trepeze is fun and enables you to sail it in stronger winds. and when it comes to whuich one is faster the vision is much faster than the laser because the vision has a larger rig than the laser. i would strongly recomend test sailing the vision and then test the laser and then you decide which one but i recomed the VISION

Ooh exciting - part of the fun is not having a clue how to rig a new boat - it should only go together a few different ways (if you use everything) so it's just trial and error. I wouldn't do it with any time pressures though.

Raced against one last night and they do look like 'proper' boats (with freeboard and everything). I think they look pretty well put together from the distance I was looking from anyway. Thrashed it, by the way but as we've discussed before they aren't really marketed as racing machines and it was spot on Contendering conditions.

I have had a sail in the Laser Vago a week ago and It is fantastic, it is easy to sail, accelerates well and gets on the plane easily. In a word it is fun, so I have confirmed my order and I take delivery in July, I can't wait. It's worlds apart from the Laser 2000, which I have always felt a bit lacking in the horsepower department and it is as much fun as a Laser 4000 with the kite up, but much more forgiving and easier to sail.

Laser have had so much demand for the Vago that they have tripled production and orders taken now will be delivered in September, so don't buy a 2000 or a Vision until you have had a go in the Vago!
