The 2020 Australian Laser Championships, held at Sandringham Yacht Club, Melbourne, included Laser 4.7, Laser Radial and Laser Standard rigs. The Championships attracted large fleets as Australian and international sailors used the event to prepare for the Open and Masters World Championships in the coming months in Victoria.With 264 competitors from 26 countries competing, all eyes were on the elite level sailors. There was also a good representation of masters, middle-of-the-pack sailors and also a few newcomers to the class. The national Championships provided a rare chance to be out there sailing with Olympic and World Champions, while competing in some fantastic big fleet racing and having fun.Double Bay was well represented across all fleets with some top 10 results as well as solid mid fleet performance.
