Jo Richards
Class Association
Recreational and training class without a formal international racing association, supported through sailing school and club programs

History

Jo Richards designed the Pico in the mid 1990s for what was then Laser Performance, using a thermoplastic sandwich hull that needs almost no maintenance. Over 10,000 were built before production passed to Ocean Play in 2022.

Sailing Characteristics

The self draining cockpit and forgiving hull make it a genuine multi purpose boat, sailed single or double handed. The jib is there mainly to teach crew coordination rather than to add serious power.

Racing Context

Rarely raced at open level, but a mainstay of sailing school fleets and charter operations, and the base boat for the higher powered Pico Race.
