The Laser Vortex is a high performance sailing dinghy designed by Jo Richards and awarded the "Sailboat of the Year" title on its introduction in 2000. It is a tunnel hulled single hander that has a trapeze and an optional Asymmetric spinnaker. It is manufactured by White Formula UK Ltd Under License from a consortium headed up by Jonathan Carter. Jo Richard remains the owner of the design. Laser Performance are no longer involved with the Vortex. In 2013 the decision was made to drop 'Laser' from the name, the boat is now known only as the Vortex. The development of the Asymmetric 'kit' by Association Chairman and keen Vortex enthusiast Keith Escritt has brought new life to the class, with over 100 boats now flying the asymmetric option. In handicap racing the Vortex sails off a Portsmouth Yardstick of 945 in the UK〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Portsmouth Number List 2012 )〕 and 86.8 in the USA .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Centerboard Classes )〕 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Laser Vortex」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
