Laser Dealership in Queensland now Factory backed !


PSA has now extended its Australian service operation and is building a new Service Centre in Brisbane. PSA will operate the Queensland Laser retail dealership from a new Service centre at Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron on Moreton Bay.

Michael Mills the founder of Australia's largest Laser dealer. NB Laser Sales in NSW is initially heading up the PSA Queensland team.

Michael said today ‘Relocating the dealership to the Brisbane waterfront with a permanent Service Centre at RQYS is a big step forward. This will allow us to bring a new level of professional service to Queensland Laser sailors.
'We are looking forward to providing a quality service for Laser sailors across all of Queensland. You can expect to see the PSA Laser Service van at major Queensland regattas, just as we do for all major international regattas.’

PSA CEO Chris Caldecoat said 'There are some very exciting things happening with PSA and Lasers. We’re anticipating some major new steps in Queensland and across Australia for the Laser brand and we felt now was an appropriate time to step up to the plate and provide a more extensive service commitment and full factory backing for Queensland Laser sailors.’

Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron Sailing Manager Suellen Hurling was all smiles when this news broke. ‘We are pleased that the Laser Service Centre will be operating here. Lasers are significant at RQ - they’re our biggest fleet across all the rigs.

‘As well as a good Standard fleet, we have an extremely competitive Masters divisions and Youth divisions and the fleets are continuing to expand.

‘The two youth sailors, Madison Kennedy who will be sailing in the Laser 4.7 fleet at the Youth Olympics and Ben Franklin, who will be sailing the Laser Radial at the ISAF Youth Worlds, are both RQ members and both sail out of here.

‘We had the Laser Radial Worlds in 2004 and we are bidding for the 2012 Laser Radial and Laser Youth Worlds.

‘We see a bright future for Lasers at the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron.’

Michael Mills. ‘We will have new and used boats at RQ, with an initial shipment of six new boats arriving next week. Until the service centre is fully operational, Queensland sailors will receive factory direct small parts freight free.

‘Our Winter Special lasts until June 30th, ahead of the big events.

‘We look forward to see Queensland Laser sailors at the Queensland Youth Championships on 3-6th July and at the 2010 Queensland Masters titles on the 16-19 th July 2010.'
