The RC (Remote Control) Laser sailboat is one of the easiest model yachts to assemble and operate. It is a scaled-down (1/4 size) version of the real boat – the famous racing Laser dinghy, which is the most popular sailing class in the world. The RC Laser Sailboat version of this boat was intended to be simple so that those who are new to the sport would find it relatively easy to get into due to affordability and ease of use.

However, just because it is easy to learn doesn’t mean it is easy to master. And this is one thing that makes it so appealing to sailors of all different ages and abilities.

The full-sized racing Laser dinghy was designed by Canadian sailor/yacht designer Bruce Kirby. Kirby has appeared in three Olympics and also designed two America’s Cup Defenders. The Laser is his most popular and best-known design. In fact, well over 200,000 of them have been built which makes the Laser the all-time most popular racing class. Read more about the full-sized laser dinghy here .

RC Laser sailboat

The RC version of the Laser was created by RC yacht designer Jon Elmaleh who has been one of the top designers of remote-controlled boats since 1982. He has also earned well over 30 championships in national RC racing events. His technical design skills partnered with practical racing experience aided in the final RC Laser product.

Why Choose an RC Laser Sailboat?

The RC Laser sailboat is an exciting way to get into the world of RC boats. The Laser is a very simple boat to operate and does not have the complicated hardware of other RC boats making it easy to assemble. There are no stays holding up the mast. The simple design makes it quick and easy to change rigs when the conditions vary… taking no more than a few minutes.

The RC Laser sailboat is also very durable and can be operated in almost any size body of water, including small ponds, bays, and lakes. The RC Laser sailboat is a great sailboat for kids and adults and is a perfect model for racing, and is good for anyone interested in remote control boats.

Similar to the full-sized version, all dinghies are the same, which makes for competitive racing. However, because of its simple design, it is relatively easy for beginners as well. This versatility makes it a popular choice for people of all experience levels.

RC Laser Specifications & Features

All RC Lasers have the same dimensions. Some of the Laser’s specs and features include:

OtherSaltwater safe, corrosion resistant

Different Kinds of Rigs

The Laser RC sailboat has a total of four different sails/rigs and each rig setup requires a slightly different mast and boom combination. As complicated as this may sound, it really isn’t and once you get the hang of it, you’ll be changing rigs quickly and with ease.

Many RC Laser Sailboat sailors actually own all 4 rigs (ie. 4 x masts, 4 x booms, 4 x sails – all rigged up and ready to go) so that they are able to pick the best rig for the conditions. If the conditions change throughout the day, then all the owner has to do is bring the boat to shore, unclip the mainsheet on the used rig and remove the rig, insert the new rig into the mast slot, and clip up the mainsheet on the new rig, and launch the boat. This means minimal time is wasted between races and gives the owner the best chance of being competitive.

Essentially the wind speed will help you to determine which rig setup to use. There may also be times when you will be able to run a bigger rig for a longer period of time as your sailing/skipper skills improve.

What You Get/Assembly Details

remote control laser dinghy

Believe it or not, an RC Laser sailboat has just five parts and can be rigged and unrigged in less than 5 minutes after your first assembly. The shipping box it arrives in has all the parts and you can put them together without the assistance of any tools. The hull, keel, rudder, mast, and sail all fit together easily and are designed specifically to be quickly launched, or so you can change rigging quickly to address different racing conditions.

Speaking of launching, all you need is a few feet of water and a gentle breeze. So, in other words, you can sail or race virtually anywhere there is some water. This includes a pond, lake, harbor, and even a swimming pool. Because of the efficient design, even a very light breeze can produce enough wind for your sailboat to work.

When it’s time to pack up and go, the RC Laser comes apart quickly and stows away in a padded boat bag that keeps everything in place and secure for any kind of travel. It is also compact and lightweight so you can carry your packed sailboat over your shoulder, in the trunk of a vehicle, or as luggage on a plane. It is that easy to take your hobby with you wherever you go.

Have a look at the video below to see how quickly and easily you can rig your RC Laser Sailboat (and if you have the rigs all set up to go, you can rig your Laser in about 1/2 the time in the video)…

Where To Purchase

Probably the best option when looking for an RC Laser for sale is to shop online. This is probably your best bet when you are trying to access everything from a used sailboat in good condition all the way to a new one. Plus, if you are in the market for accessories or replacement parts, you will be able to find whatever you need online. As for electronics, you can purchase most gear in most hobby/electronics stores.

Another source for locating new or second-hand sailboats is at a local yacht club, by asking around or on the noticeboard. Depending on the size of the community and proximity to water, many cities and regional towns have RC Yacht Clubs as well. The sailors/skippers in these clubs may have contacts that can help you locate what you are after.

Another option, hobby shops are where you may be able to find an RC Laser sailboat for sale.

Popular And Affordable

As mentioned above, the RC Laser Sailboat is very popular. The reasons vary but most of it has to do with the fact that there are clubs set up so that you can actually race against others with identical boats (similar to the actual full-sized laser world-class racing dinghy). Being remote control, it is easy to learn (but can be difficult to master) and people of all ages and fitness levels can race. The interest in racing also spans generational boundaries with parents, children, and even grandparents racing each other on a family outing.

Laser RC sailboat

What has assisted in cementing the racing relationship of RC boats with real sailors is the formation of RC Yacht Clubs. Some are under the umbrella and share facilities with regular yacht clubs whereas others are stand-alone groups. The reasonable cost of RC Laser sailing is also what attracts people with a basic new starter kit running between $500 and $1,000.

One great way to connect with other RC sailboat owners is through social media and the internet. There are several pages on Facebook dedicated to the hobby as well as YouTube videos showing how they handle and how competitive racing these remote control model boats can be. See the video and links below for some good resources.

Your Laser RC Sailboat Is Waiting

Remote-controlled sailing is much more than just a hobby – it’s a sport that a complete world of competition has been built around. Included in that world is a lifestyle that brings families and friends together.

It can be as casual or as competitive as you desire and what makes RC sailing with a Laser RC boat most interesting is that it is fun for everyone.

Author note: Thanks to Graham, Steve, and the other gents down at Dobroyd Aquatic Club  for sharing their time and RC Laser Sailboat expertise with me.

About Brendan

Brendan has over 30 years experience sailing dinghies, yachts, and windsurfers, but has recently started Laser sailing. "I found it difficult to find all the information that I needed when I started sailing my Laser, and I am sure that others have had the same problem. So I combined all the information I could into this website to help other Laser sailors get the most out of this sport. If you have any questions or comments, let me know... I will get back to you as soon as I can."

What a great site! The RC Laser is certainly the best value for anyone looking to get into radio controlled boats. There are cheaper models but the longevity of the RC Laser puts it out in front. It is easy to sail but a real challenge to race. Great fun.

' src=

Hi Peter Thanks for your message and comments. I think what you said “ easy to sail but a real challenge to race ” is what makes it so popular amongst so many people, and is similar to what makes the full-sized laser dinghy such a popular option also. I think it’s good to have something that you are not able to master in 2 seconds, but rather something that challenges you and you grow and learn in the process. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Brendan

When sailing down wind the bow starts to going under water. Is there anything I can do to stop this?

Hi Bob. Thanks for your question. Due to the forces acting on the boat, this is to be expected to some extent. When sailing downwind, you have the sail pushing forward, and the drag of the boat moving through the water pushing in the other direction. This creates a turning moment, which can tend to push the bow down. In full sized dinghies and yachts, you can obviously counteract this by moving your weight back, but unfortunately you can’t really do this well with RC sailboats. A couple of things that you may be able to do include trying to avoid running into the back of waves (as this slows the boat down, and increases the turining moment which pushes the bow down). Another issue may be that you are overpowered, so you may want to try a smaller rig. Also, please have a look at this article which explains nosediving in more detail. Although it does not specifically talk about RC Lasers (it focuses on the International One Meter class, or IOM), the principles are the same. There may be other RC laser sailing experts out there that have some other ideas, so I would be interested to know their thoughts. Hope this helps a little. Cheers Brendan

hallo. My name is kenneth. I Im from Denmark. I just bord a rc laser. Do you know any one from Denmark who is sailing??? I would like to race. Have a nice day.

Hi Kenneth Thanks for your message. I did a quick Google search and found this site – http://modelsejlklubben.dk/ . It looks like they do not only race RC Lasers, but race all types of RC yachts. I am not aware of any other clubs that race RC Lasers in Denmark, but I would say that you would be best to just do a few Google searches for things like “RC Laser Sailing” or “rc laser sailing club”. Otherwise, if there is a sailing club near to where you live, why not go down there and ask around – some of the locals may know if there is a club nearby that sails RC yachts, and possibly RC Lasers. Thanks, and all the best. Brendan

Anyone know a way to take out creases in Out There Technology RC laser sails. Unfortunately I purchased replacement sails and received them through the post, they had been rolled C sail inside B sail from the head down rather than rolled around a tube from the foot up. Anyway, the crease in the leech is ugly and will affect performance, My question is, can the sails be ironed with a warm (not hot) steam iron with material (towel) between iron surface and sail or is there any other way to remove these creases.

Hi John I haven’t tried ironing to remove the creases from sails, and have heard some stories of the heat ruining the sail, so you would have to be very careful. Here is another discussion on the topic. It may give you some other ideas. Best of luck with it. Cheers

Hi. Do you maybe know where I can buy a rc laser somewhere in South Africa??

Hi Edmund Unfortunately, I am not sure where you would be able to buy an RC laser in South Africa. I did a little bit of research and it looks like Pretoria Sailing Club used to sail RC lasers, but I am not sure if they still do. It might be worth reaching out to the club to find out some more info. They might also be able to tell you where you can buy an RC laser. Best of luck. Brendan

Hello, How will the RC laser hold up in salt water?

Hi Martin If you’re sailing your RC boat in salt water, it’s always a good idea to give everything a good rinse-off in fresh water and allow it to properly dry before packing it up. You want to take special care not to let any water inside the hull where the electronics are. This means sealing up all the hull penetrations such as screws holding the rudder and mainsheet servos and the hull access plate. After a day’s sailing, always check to see if any water got inside the hull. I put a couple of sponges inside the hull to soak up any drops that may enter. If you take care to wash & dry all your gear and keep water out of the inside of the hull, it minimizes the chance of having any issues.

Thanks for the information. That’s a great idea with the the sponge. Received my boat today. Looking forward to getting out on the water.

what radio is included in the RTR package?

Hello Carl From my experience, when you buy a RC Laser sailboat, it typically comes with a 2.4 GHz transmitter and receiver as part of the radio equipment. However, this equipment may vary depending on the specific package or seller. Radio equipment brands include Flysky and Spektrum.

Buying a radio controlled RC Laser sailboat and accessories

So you want to buy a radio controlled RC Laser sailboat and come out to race but don’t know what you need to purchase to get started? Although there are many accessories you could purchase, in our opinion, we recommend you buy these four things to be competitive: the standard boat package, a transmitter, waterproof receiver and an extra light air sail.

FAQs About RC Sailboats

If you do not see your question, or an answer to it, listed below, get in touch with us and we’ll happily give you one!

How do RC Sailboats work?

RC Sailboats work through radio control, which is a given considering the “RC” in the name, and a bit of skill. You need to steer, draw the sail, etc. Interestingly enough, it’s a lot like sailing a real sailboat, but you’re using a controller to do it.

This is where the skill part comes in. Drawing the sails, for example, requires timing and precision to ensure that you’re doing it properly. If you don’t, you face it sinking, should the model be a very extensive one, or not sailing properly at all.

the-best-rc-sailboat

Where can I race a RC Sailboat?

You can race a RC Sailboat virtually anywhere. Although, racing in the ocean may not be the best idea if you’re very invested, both emotionally and financially, in your boat.

This is where lines come in. A lot of users will have a line system to ensure that if there is a crash and their boat sinks, or whatever the case may be, they can still retrieve their vessel without actually having to go into the water.

Are there are RC Sailboats that use wind?

Yes! Some RC Sailboats do not use electricity or a motor as a source to run. Some only work with windy weather, but still require a controller for steering, drawing the sails, etc.

What happens when the wind stops?

This is another instance where a tow line comes in handy. If the wind stops you have two options – wait for it to come back, or use your tow line to reel it back in. Some users have small tugboats that are able to go out and retrieve a RC Sailboat that has a downed sail, has stalled, etc.

What if it tips?

If your RC Sailboats tips, it’s obviously not a very good one. The good quality ones have something at the bottom to ensure this doesn’t happen unless it’s hit by another one, has a hole in the side, etc.

It may tip into the water from the wind or have the bow go under water, but it should not tip on its side completely in any instance other than one of the reasons previously mentioned.

If it does tip, reel it in using your tow line or go into the water and get it.

Hej! Have you found something? I search for a rc sailboat that I can transport with my bicicle.

Hi Annette, I too am looking for a 1 meter or 3 foot sailboat. Had a “Tradewinds” that was 3 feet long and loved it! BUT, the 5 pound center board weight (I used BB’s) was hard to find…. Want to get one so it can be sailed in the pond/small lake outside. A friend got one too and we used to “race”. But, we had no buoys – there are usually two or three and depends on the size of the boat.

In the Chicago area, Wisconsin, Chicago, Indiana (Munster), Michigan, and Florida (about 20 miles from Orlando) – we were lucky and I was sailing anywhere from 13′ to 45′ boats. People that did not know me were freaked out when I could sail.

Another boat makes sense here. And, if I had two, then another person can sail too. And, I can make buoys that are needed to race boats. Hmm, that is a good idea.

' src=

I am a former professional licensed Captain, sailboat dealer and racer who is now landlocked. Looking to start RC sailing, but prefer to identify key class associations, publications and such information to make sure there is a strong RC class or one design to guide me. Looking forward to guidance first, then back on the water the right way.

Braid Upgrade Kit – Click the link to view our braid upgrade kit instructions.

So we’ve been supplying the popular RC Laser since late 2011 and have a great knowledge of the product and how it should be presented for racing in this, the only true “one design” radio sailing class.

dscf0262

We have been racing the class since 2012 and have notched up some reasonable results, including a two third place finishes at the RC Laser Nationals in the last couple of years.

Whilst the DF classes are growing in numbers the RC Laser continues to hold skippers interest and there are a good number of fleets based around the UK and beyond with quite a bit of interest from large private charter boats in the med and the Carribean who have taken fleets of boats over the years to entertain onboard guests.

dscf0258

The only issue currently is the supply of boats and some parts which has changed considerably in the last few months with the original UK Distribution company of 20 or more years ceasing to bring the product into the UK as they once did. Supply of most parts is ok and will remain so.

We supply a popular braid upgrade kit which we have refined over the years and we use it on our own boats and have proven its worth again and again and we upgrade all our package boats with the kit as standard before shipping them out to customers.

We also offer battery upgrades that we have proven over time on the racecourse along with other useful items that will keep your RC Laser reliable and racing for years to come.

radio controlled laser sailboat for sale

Develop the skills to sail the fast and responsive Laser, an Olympic class racing sailboat. The Laser is the most popular sailboat in the world with more than 200,000 built. This class is ideal for solo sailors that would like to improve their technical sailing skills and enjoy a physical challenge.

What Will I Learn?

By the end of Laser Sailing you will be able to independently launch, rig, and sail a Laser sailing dinghy. Topics covered include:

  • Launching and rigging the Laser
  • Laser capsize recovery
  • Controlling sail shape with sail controls
  • Body mechanics
  • Tell-tale use 
  • Roll tacks 

Topics are introduced on land and then practiced on Mission Bay in a 14' Laser sailboat. Upon successful completion of the class you will be qualified to rent the Laser so you will be able to keep sailing and practicing your skills after the class ends. 

Is this the right class for me?

Laser Sailing is one of two small boat sailing classes for students who have completed Advanced Sailing at MBAC. Laser Sailing is a good option if you are looking to sail and be eligible to rent a single handed performance boat. MBAC requires that you bring at least one other person with you to rent a Hobie Getaway, but you can rent a Laser by yourself.

Hobie Cat Sailing is the right class for you if you want to become eligible to rent Hobie Getaways at MBAC. Additionally Hobie Cat Sailing is less physically demanding than Laser Sailing and you can expect to stay drier on the Hobie Getaway than the Laser.

If you have some sailing experience but have never taken a formal sailing class, we suggest starting with Basic Sailing or Basic Keelboat Level 1 . Our experience has shown that people who learn to sail informally often have gaps in their knowledge that are best addressed by completing an entry-level class.

Requirements

  • Prerequisite: MBAC Advanced Sailing or equivalent experience.
  • This class is open to all participants aged 14 and up.
  • A general liability waiver is required to participate. Anyone under 18 must have a waiver signed by their parent or legal guardian.
  • Participants must acknowledge that they are water safe (able to swim 50 meters and comfortably tread water).

How to Prepare

Wear comfortable clothes that can get wet and dress in layers. The temperature can feel much cooler than expected once you are on the water, so it is a good idea to bring a jacket, even on warm days. We suggest comfortable closed-toed shoes. Sunglasses and a hat are highly recommended. Lifejackets are provided.

The Laser can be a wet boat to sail, so be prepared to get wet during this class. You will practice capsize recoveries, but it is also likely that you will accidently capsize a few times during this class. Bring swimwear and a change of clothes to class each day. You may use a MBAC wetsuit for no additional charge while participating in this class.

Bring sunscreen, a refillable water bottle, and snacks or lunch (for all-day classes). MBAC has a water bottle refilling station and there are a number of restaurants nearby, but keep in mind that food and drink are not available for purchase at MBAC.

Parking can be a challenge at MBAC, especially during the summer months. Please visit our parking page for more information.

What's Next?

Upon successful completion of Laser Sailing you will be qualified to rent Lasers  at MBAC by yourself. If you are looking to continue your sailing education after this course we recommend Hobie Cat Sailing .
