As we head into the final events for the 2023 Millennium and Latitude Series, a scan of the results so far shows:

  • 5 Millennium events won by 5 different people.
  • 4 Latitude events won by 4 different people.
  • Nationals won by someone else.
  • The winning boats are from all eras of production both early and late Laser and those from RS!
You'd be hard pushed to find another one design class where the competition is so open and isn't dominated by a few folks with deep pockets and unlimited time! So come and join us for some fast family fun racing in September and October! We promise a warm welcome!

The Millenium Series is sponsored by West Country Boat Repairs. The Latitude Series is sponsored by Lakes Mortgages. The 2000 Class Association is sponsored by Noble Marine Insurance and is supported by RS Sailing.
