Barton Marine’s laser kits have now been approved as class legal for the Laser Class, providing a great new option for sailors looking for lightweight, free running gear to upgrade their one design Laser.  Extensively tested, sailors across the globe can train and race confident that Barton’s well known quality and durability will not let them down.   

The Barton Laser range consists of three complete kits for the Outhaul, Downhaul and Kicker as well as Mini K-Cams, Size 0 Blocks and Ratchet Blocks.  All of these products are class legal and provide great value after market upgrades.

The kicker kit’s powerful 15:1 purchase is achieved through clever design of the base plate, fitted with the unique Barton fully swivelling triple cam block.  The outhaul kit is strong and lightweight, coming with a simple toggle release for the mainsail clew.  The Barton downhaul kit comes with 8:1 purchase for those who find the standard system a struggle and like the rest of the range comes with quality line included.  All are simple to fit and easy to use.

Christian Brewer, Barton Marine Global Sales Manager said,“ We are delighted that our Kicker, Downhaul and Outhaul kits are now officially approved by The Laser Class. We have been manufacturing replica kits to the class for a number of years and these can now be used at Laser class events. Having our Rising Star Harry onboard will help us with our R&D as we continually look to further improve our Laser kits.”
