Hawaii State Single-Handed Championship- September 12-13, 2026 BOAT RESERVATION

Kaneohe, HI 96744, USA


1- DAY BOAT RENTAL: ILCA (Laser)
$20

6 left!

The ILCA (Laser) is the world's most popular adult and youth racing class. Originally known as the Laser, the ILCA dinghy is a single-handed racing dinghy. Besides sailing in the Wahine Series at PHYC each year, and for fun at RBM, the Hawaii Laser Association (HLA) competes throughout the year, so there are lots of opportunities.

You will select your SAIL size below at no additional cost. Select wisely, limited inventory may not allow for swapping out on race day and please choose only ONE SIZE.


ILCA 4.7 (often just “4.7 rig”)

  • Sail area: ~4.7 m²
  • Design: Uses the same mast and boom as other ILCAs, but the bottom mast section is shorter, which reduces sail area and lowers the center of effort.
  • Who it’s for: Youth sailors (often 110-145 lbs.) and lighter sailors transitioning into the ILCA/Laser.
  • Use: Great for learning and racing in youth fleets before moving up to the larger rigs.

ILCA Radial (ILCA 6)

  • Sail area: ~5.7–5.8 m²
  • Design: Uses the same upper mast and boom, but the radial-cut sail has reinforced panels to handle stronger winds. The lower mast section is also different (shorter and more flexible than the full rig’s).
  • Who it’s for: A wide range — popular among women, lighter men (132-165 lbs.), and youth sailors stepping up from the 4.7.
  • Use: Olympic class for women, also a very common racing fleet worldwide.

ILCA Full Rig (ILCA 7)

  • Sail area: ~7.06 m²
  • Design: The standard, full-sized sail with the longest lower mast section. It’s the most powerful version of the boat.
  • Who it’s for: Typically heavier, stronger sailors (165-200+ lbs.) who can handle the full sail power.
  • Use: Olympic class for men, and the “classic” Laser racing rig.
