About the LASER 2000
Also called LDC 2000. Now called 2000. (2013).
The Laser 2000 is a high-performance day sailer designed by Phil Morrison and built by Laser Performance/RS Sailing (UK) in 1997, with a total production run of 2000 hulls. It is characterized by its lightweight displacement of 140.0 lb and fractional sloop rig, prioritizing speed and ease of handling over long-term cruising durability.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for day sailing, club racing, and single-handers who prioritize performance and easy trailering over liveaboard comfort or offshore passage-making.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of only 140.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 4.48, the Laser 2000 is strictly a coastal day sailer and lacks the structural integrity, ballast, and systems required for bluewater or offshore use.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Laser 16 and RS Feva, as they share similar high-performance, lightweight hull forms and fractional rig configurations aimed at recreational racing and day sailing.
