Al Bush from Kenya reaffirmed his hold on East African Laser sailing to claim the Uganda Laser Open 2018 overall trophy after two years of absence. Poor weather conditions with lots of rain and low and shifting winds made the ULO an exercise in patience: only 5 of the 10 scheduled races could be sailed. But this did not stop Al to win 3 of the 5 races and score seconds in the other 2. With one discard he ended up with 5 points. Second was Daniel Francis with 8 points and well ahead of second runner up Reint Bakema with 15 points. Annabel Bowerman prolongated her women's title of last year, and Vedastus Buhahala from Tanzania took home the Youth prize. The VNSC handicap prize went to Odoardo Girardi.
