If you own a Laser don’t miss this weekend’s (23 February) Laser Centre Spring Sale which is taking place at Banbury in Oxfordshire.

Ben Ainslie, Olympic Gold Medallist in the Laser class, will be at the event answering sailing questions in a Q and A feature as well as signing copies of his new book – The Laser Campaign Manual.

Race coach Rob Andrews, will cover asymmetric sailing within his seminar. And for sailors preparing their boat for the new season, Laser Service Centre Fix-It clinic will offer help and advice on gelcoat repairs and small boat servicing. Live demonstration sessions will take place throughout the day.

For those looking for a bargain, there’ll be a wide range of parts and accessories available at crazy prices including spars and sails with up to 40 per cent off and exclusive discounts on new Laser and Dart parts for Club Laser members. There’ll also be a selection of reconditioned used boat (some ready to take away), cosmetic seconds and packaged priced new boats.
