The Laser Sport Shell is a very practical, seaworthy training shell.

This 18-foot (5.5m) rowing shell was built for years by Laser. Hundreds of these boats were made in the 1980s. We bought the moulds and refined them and are building these boats again.

The Laser Sport Shell is built with fibreglass and has a full deck for improved safety. The boat has a light and strong sliding seat system, and NEW fully adjustable foot stretchers. Outriggers are stainless steel and can be quickly removed to help make transporting and storage very easy. There is a new convenient watertight hatch in the cockpit that has a removable storage sock.

The Laser Sport Shell has a full deck and a beam of 2'-4" (71.1cm) which helps to make this a stable and seaworthy training shell.

It is an elegant design. The novice rower will appreciate the stability of this design, and the fully closed deck which makes it practical to row in less-protected bays and rivers. It cannot be swamped.
