2012 Laser SB3

Ultimate racing boat built for the power of three

Designed by Tony Castro, the Laser SB3 is an exhilarating and fast three-person sport boat. It's modern and powerful rig makes it excellent for one-design and sport boat racing. Keelboat stiffness ensures a great ride downwind in a heavy breeze. Dinghy-like performance offers tactical and close racing.

Perks of the SB3 include a high-tech x-ply Mylar mainsail and jib, a “sit-in” cockpit for onboard communication and a level playing field and adjustable rig with a fixed forestay.
