The Laser SB3 is a one-design class of sailboat commonly used for racing. Manufactured by Performance Sailcraft Europe Ltd (Trading name "Laser") the boat was designed by Tony Castro and launched in 2002.

The yacht is an open keelboat and is designed for racing with a crew of up to 4 whose maximum weight must not exceed 270kg. With a high aspect ratio keel with a very high ballast ratio the yacht is very stable, but also quite fast due to the substantial sail area. Relative to other sportboats, the SB3 is unique in that it does not allow hiking, using a small stainless steel bar to prevent hiking by the crew. Relative to other sportboats the SB3 is relatively heavy, with boats such as the Shaw 650 hull weight being approximately 175kg [http://www.shaw650.com Shaw 650] compared to the SB3 weighing 265kg. Additionally, the SB3 uses heavier aluminium mast and boom compared to most sport boats such as the Viper 640 or Melges 24.

The majority of boats are located in the United Kingdom and the Class has attracted considerable support. In 2005 the SB3 became the second largest One-design fleet at the Cowes Week regatta with 66 entries. In 2006 it became the largest fleet with 89 entries pushing the XOD into second place. The SB3 also has OD fleets in Singapore and Australia.

Length 6.15m, Beam 2.15m, Draft 1.5m, Mast Height 9.05m.

Mainsail Area 18m2, Jib 9.3m2, Gennaker 46m2.
Weight of Hull 265kg, Weight of keel (bulb)330kg.
