BRITISH POLICE LASER SAILING CHAMPIONSHIPS

British Police Laser Sailing Championships - 'Stats'
From the first B.P.L.S.A. regatta to the current year....

By the end of the 1970's, it was apparent that the largest class competing in police regattas was the Laser Dinghy.

In 1979 the first National Laser competition was held under the banner of the newly formed British Police Laser Sailing Association.

Originally held as a separate event at the end of the sailing year, the Laser Championship has now been incorporated into the Police Sport UK National Dinghy Sailing Championships.
