Laser Sailors - TopSail Numbers
Laser Sailors - TopSail Numbers
When you register for a regatta, PLEASE use your TopSail Number as your sail number. View TopSail Assignments here. If you do not know your number, need a number, please check with your coach & contact Ilya.juniors@gmail.com.
This is a list of items that a sailor / race team / coach, etc ‘should’ / ‘could’ have on hand. The list is not a ‘comprehensive requirement’ but is ‘suggested' and is not ‘all-encompassing’, but is a good start. Since most Lasers are self-owned with one crew, it has more of a Laser focus, but it could apply to any class of boat. As always, speak to your parent/guardian, race team and/or coach for applicability. As well as the racing authority, NOR and SIs. Have something to add to the list? Email ilya.juniors@gmail.com

The Racing Rules of Sailing for 2025-2028 take effect on January 1, 2025- December 31, 2028. US Sailing developed a new mobile-optimized Racing Rules App that includes the racing rules and other resources, including the ability to file a protest through the app, a whiteboard for diagramming boat-on-boat interactions, and an extensive resource library. The text of the rulebook is fully searchable and there is also a traditional index.
