It would not surprise me if the Laser 16 enjoyed a comparable success story, bearing in mind the extra size and cost of the boat. For my money, the Laser 16 is a really worthwhile trailer-sailer. Laser 16 boat testWe launched her in less-than-perfect con­ditions and recovered her at low water using a slipway so slippery we dare not take the car on it. Like her small sister, the Laser Fun, the 16 has a two-part mast, sleeved at the hounds and with streamlined an­chorages for forestay and shrouds. With a 651b centreboard and a very stable hull, the Laser 16 is not the type of boat which is expected to be cap­sized.
