The number RC Lasers in NZ is growing rapidly with small fleets of boats increasing both in the north and the south.  Latest boat sales have been in the South Island – Dunedin, Central Otago and Invercargill. 

There is talk this year of a South Island Championship, a North Island Championship and an RC Laser NZ National Championship. We will keep you posted so RC Laser sailors outside of NZ can make travel plans. 

Not to be missed for North Islanders is the Open Day at Gulf Harbour on Sunday the 25th of February  
being held at Regency Lake in Gulf Harbour, Auckland between 10am and 3pm.
RC Laser sailors are invited to come along and join in the sailing. Anyone interested in trying RC sailing is most welcome! There will be boats to try and people on hand to show you the boat and how to sail it.
