Bug Brochure - LaserPerformance

“So simple to sail and easy to rig. It’s not like other
boats that you have to sit in. It’s really comfortable.
You can hike when you want or sit in when you want.”
— Becky, UK
“This boat was ‘rare!’ This boat is really cool… and fast!”
— Hallie, US
“An amazing boat. Very fast. Great downwind and really
fast upwind. The bow rips through waves.” — Grace, US
“Intense. It’s a blast to sail. It rips and really lets you
play around without having to bail it out every time you
flip. Getting it righted was a breeze.” — Pearson, US
“Really stable. Easy to sail. I like the wheel and the fact
that you’re not sitting in a pool of water.” — Aaron, UK

Versatility
With its innovative dual rig system designed for easy and economical sailing,
the Bug accommodates young sailors from championship racers to beginners.
Thanks to the Bug’s two position gooseneck, both rigs use the same boom
and bottom mast section so changing sails takes only a few minutes. With
the Bug, you get two boats in one, perfect for young sailors transitioning
from one rig to the other and for families with lots of keen sailors.
