The Laser 4000 was
designed in 1994 by yacht designer Phil Morrison. It is a sloop rigged
dinghy made
out of fiberglass.
It features a single trapeze as well as a open, self-draining cockpit.
Instead of a convential kicking strap it features a gnav system, which
pushes down on the boom from the top, instead of pulling from the bottom.
This allows greater space for the crew to move from side to side. Its
one design weight-equalised
system enables physically differing sailors to compete on a level playing
field.
