The International Laser Class Association (ILCA) announces that, effective 27 August 2025, Performance Sailcraft Australia (PSA) is no longer an ILCA-approved Builder under the ILCA Class Rules.

ILCA exercised its right to withdraw PSA’s builder approval following contractual breaches by PSA. As a result:

• PSA is no longer an ILCA-approved Builder and can no longer build and sell class-legal boats and equipment.
• PSA is no longer eligible to receive World Sailing plaques, which must be obtained through ILCA and affixed to all new boats built under the ILCA Class Rules.

Important for Sailors and Owners

This decision does not affect boats already built by PSA. Any existing boat with a valid World Sailing plaque on the aft cockpit face remains class-legal and fully eligible for ILCA-sanctioned racing. If you are unsure whether your boat has a valid plaque, please see our guide to verifying class-legal equipment.

We thank our sailors, districts, and partners worldwide for their continued support, and we look forward to seeing you on the water.
