ILCA 4.7 (often just “4.7 rig”)

• Sail area: ~50.6sqft
• 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 (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: ~61.4sqft
• 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: ~76sqft
• 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.
