Vanguard Laser Rigging Manual page 2

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Laser! The Laser is a very unique boat that can
accommodate many different sized sailors and abilities, due to its three interchangeable rigs. The
Laser, the Radial and the Laser 4.7 all use the same hull and equipment with the exception of the
lower mast and sail.
We suggest that you read through this guide to better familiarize yourself with the parts and rigging
of your new boat. If you have any questions please contact your dealer or call Vanguard's customer
service at 1-800-966-SAIL.
Depending of which Laser you have selected (Laser, Radial or Laser 4.7) you will have one of the following sails and corresponding lower masts
located in your delivery kit.
Above from left to right: Laser lower mast,
Radial lower mast, and Laser 4.7 lower mast.
Locate your delivery kit. Depending on which model you have purchased (Pro or Standard) there will be a few differences in some of the
hardware. The differences between the two models are the cunningham, outhaul, vang and tiller extension. Using images 1 or 2, identify the
contents of your kit. To avoid damaging the contents, be sure not to cut into the packaging inside the box.
