The Laser® dinghy is one of the most popular One Design single hander dinghies in the world. Designed by Canadian Bruce Kirby, there are some 200,000 Lasers® built and many are still in existence, many 30 years old or more.
It is a tough little boat and can be purchased quite cheaply and herein lies the problem. The standard class legal equipment is expensive to buy and can add up to more than the value of a second hand boat. Barton Marine have considered the options and can now offer very price competitive upgrade options without loss of performance to both young and old club sailors who do not take part in Laser® association events.
During the development, Barton Marine was lucky to have top Master’s sailor Charles Campion to bounce ideas off and to try out various options. They also kitted out 12 youth boats to properly evaluate the specifications; all the products were thoroughly tried and tested throughout the season.
Established in 1948 Barton® produces over 1000 different products suitable for use on all sailboats from small dinghies and keel boats through to yachts of up to 16 metres. Their product range grew quickly over the next few years with the introduction of many new and innovative products.
