Laser Lads

Sailing and Social Group

The most recent GROUP in SAMM was formed by members who wanted the challenge and freedom of singlehanded sailing and so a Laser standard was purchased and is regularly entered into the SAMM race days.

Members can choose either the Laser standard or the Laser Radial rig which ever suits their needs and both rigs have been used in our racing season. Although it’s possible to sail 7 days a week from our base in C.A.R. we mainly sail on Wednesday, Friday and Sundays as these are the days when our sister group Shoestring are sailing and therefore offer safety in numbers.

The Mar Menor

SAMM (Sailing Association Mar Menor), is based on the shores of the Mar Menor in Murcia, southern Spain. We have over 300 days of sunshine each year and the climate is perfect for sailing.

​

The Mar Menor (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmar meˈnor], "Minor sea") is a salty lagoon, in the south-east of the autonomous community of Murcia, in Spain, separated from the Mediterranean Sea by La Manga, a sandbar 22 km in length and with a width ranging from 100 to 1,200 metres. It belongs to four municipalities: Cartagena, Los Alcázares, San Javier and San Pedro del Pinatar. With a surface area of nearly 170 km², a coastal length of 70 km, and warm and clear water no more than 7 metres in depth, it is the ideal location to go sailing. Its relatively high salinity, which aids flotation, and remarkable sporting infrastructures make this one of the most popular places in Europe for a wide variety of water sports. If you want to enjoy sailing on the Mar Menor, you can get in touch by using our Contact Page on this website or  email the secretary
