i know in 1996 a blue Olympic edition laser was produced. was there another color too? also, did other special olympic editions come out, like in 2000 or 2004, etc...

The other Olympic graphic 1996 version was red . . .

My friend has a blue, centennial olympics boat, it is like new and it was made in 1996, maybe there were two different colors?

I have a 1996 Blue Centennial Olympic model. It is a good looking boat.

There were blue and red 1996 olympic boats. There was also an olympic boat in 2000.

And if you look closely, you will see that the 1996 Olympic boats used clear red or blue gelcoat over what appears to be rice paper. Real nice work.

Yes, they have a beautiful leaf print of some sort. I had a red one for about a year until I sold it to a junior sailor at my club.

thanks for the replies, i have a blue one and it is a nice looking boat. thinking may be i want the red one too. what did the 2000 olympic edition look like?

Sydney Lasers had a medium blue stripe with Olympic rings.

My '96 is the red version. Pics attached. I've read they weren't licensed to use the Olympic rings then, so they put "Centennial Olympic Games" and "100" on the topsides.

Oh...I guess I should have included the 2004 Athens version, which is nice, and the 2008 Bejing, which just looks like a sticker on the side of a white hull.
