For German  Gil the Laser class is a form with many possibilities for these young sailors. “Many come from Optimist, which is a great sailing class when they are small … but when they turn 14 years old or weigh over 50 kilos, it’s over, and there are no alternatives.Children see no future and do not sail anymore. Laser Class takes various forms, the school at which they can sail from age 14 and continue with what they love, the sea, the rig is smaller and they can handle it well. Afterwards they can compete  only with a larger rig as youngsters, and even use a Laser Radial or Standard in female  and  male, which are Olympic classes. It is a class where they learn, they enjoy it and have a future. We have recently started … but now there are over 120 sailors in Valencia. Let’s move on. ”
