The T&T Sailing Association (T&TSA) says that the addition of at least three laser sail boats to its fleet will boost the current successful Optimist Programme and allow a wider range of sailors to participate in the joys of sailing.
The laser dinghies come equipped with multi-rigs such that the boats can be used by a variety of sailors, expanding its availability to both youth and adult. The radial rig is the size ideally used by female sailors at International and Olympic levels.
The association hopes to develop and encourage more female sailors across the country to join in the success of the current national sailing team achieved at both regional and international levels.
