The radial is a thriving class:

Hosting a world chamionship with over 150 boats and boasting a slew of local, regional, and national level events for sailors of all ages. The Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Association, US Sailing Association, and International Sailing Federation contest all of their major Junior and Women's championships in the Laser Radial.

The Laser Radial class is built on the same fundamental philosophy as the Laser class. Strict one-design rules mean that it's the sailor, not the boat that wins the race. Every Laser and Laser Radial is identical. The Radial requires all the same techniques and tools as the Laser, allowing smaller sailors to jump into the competitive world of Laser sailing
