The 2013 Laser Standard Mens World Champs was sialed from the 17th to 23rd November in Mussanah Sports City in Oman.

The final places for the NZL team was;
Andy Maloney 11th
Sam Meech 13th
Thomas Saunders 22nd
Michael Cate 39th
George Lane 42nd
The regatta was one Brazlian Robert Scheidt - a remarkable return to the Laser class from the 41 year old. Confirming his position as the Laser classes most successful sailor.
