11. Laser. I had no choice (fortunately that is ) but to transfer to this singlehanded dinghy. This is a high performance boat designed by Bruce Kirby a Canadian. It has been an Olympic class boat since 1996. It has a wide international following and is raced extensively. A champion Laser sailor from the States came over to train us. Incidentally I had his book and he was surprised with my copy and I got his signature. Later went on to win the America's Cup helming Alinghi in Valencia Spain. I won a lot of races in Laser and was only second to Bisoy a full time Navy sailor.
