You can buy an ILCA from any manufacturer that is licensed to make them. How you get it into the UK is questionable.

PSA are importing though, I wouldnt be surprised if more dealers start taking their boats until a more local builder is appointed.

They are, apparently, supposed to be licensing LPE to build again, see my link above, but it reads like the negotiations are not going smoothly (no surprises there then)  Ouch

No one really thinks there is much chance of LPE being reinstated. .

"In mid-August 2019 the World Council of World Sailing voted for Laser to be the single-handed dinghy sailboat for the 2024 Olympics. This was based on the World Sailing Submission that said the following about LP and PSA: 


“(c) ILCA is in process to approve LaserPerformance Europe as a builder. LPE has agreed to the terms of approval and ILCA is now scheduling the required factory inspection. LPE has annual capacity of approximately 2,000 boats per year. ILCA expects LPE can be approved as a manufacturer in the next 4 - 6 weeks."
