It combines a traditional GRP hull and foam sandwich deck moulding with a modern asymmetric rig including a furling jib, reefing mainsail and single line gennaker hoist system.
A high boom provides plenty of headroom whilst the self-draining cockpit keeps the crew dry and drains quickly should the boat capsize.
The 2000 has established an enviable record as a resilient and versatile design; docile and forgiving for novices yet an exhilarating sail for more advanced sailors.
The hull is built from glass-reinforced plastic foam sandwich and the spars from aluminium.
The 2000 hosts a number of convenience and family-oriented features: On pre-2013 boats, a red Laser 2000 logo is printed on the jib.
