MG Laser Sailing Nationals Crucial For Olympic Qualification

MG Laser Nationals Held At Largs Ayrshire In August


The MG Laser Sailing Nationals are being hosted by the Scottish Sailing Institute in the picturesque setting of Largs, Ayrshire, sited on the west coast of Scotland, next week, the 18-22th August. This year’s Nationals are crucial as they are the last main event before the Worlds event in Cadiz in September and the penultimate Nationals before the Olympics in 2004.

The MG sponsored competition is an essential path for qualification to represent their country in the largest world event. In excess of 200 boats have pre-entered and more are expected to contest the three different rigs - the Olympic Laser, Laser radial and Laser 4.7. The teams and sailors are coming from as far afield as Bahrain and New Zealand and this year is expected to attract a large Irish following due to their close proximity.

This year’s event sees the increasingly popular Laser 4.7's sharing the same venue for their National championships. Record numbers of 4.7's are expected, following the highly successful MG sponsored Laser coach programme.
