Laser 2000 Fleet

Open Meetings
There are well over 20 Laser 2000’s at Carsington and every year we host an Open Meeting Event in conjunction with the Laser 2000 Class Association.  This is a great opportunity to sail with visiting boats from all over the country and is one of the best attended meetings in the Laser 2000 sailing calendar.

Laser 2000 Association
If you are not a member of the association but own a 2000 it is well worth joining.  The association promotes events all over the country – cruising and family events as well as racing – and members receive the association publication “Millennium Mutterings”, which has all sorts of articles, hints and tips, reviews …etc.  Web site is www.laser2000.org.uk

Fleet Days at Carsington
Laser 2000 Fleet days at Carsington are opportunities for members to get together on a couple of Saturdays in the season when things are quiet at the club.  The sessions are informal, starting at 10 am in the clubhouse and usually closing at about 4 pm.  The agenda is tailored on the day according to people’s requests / needs / whims and the weather but usually involves on-shore rigging tips and some exercises on the water. Please get in touch with me if  you would like to join in.

Carsington Laser 2000 Hire Scheme
The club owns 2 Laser 2000’s that are available for hire under the “Extended Hire Scheme”.  The hire periods are for 3 months at a time and give you an opportunity to really get familiar with sailing the boat.  Whether you have just completed a Level 2 training course and would like to develop your skills or fancy racing something on windier days that doesn’t capsize as readily as some of the more high performance craft, the hire scheme is for you.  Contact me for more details and boat availability.
