5 items you can add to your Laser sailing dinghy.
The Laser is of course a hugely popular sailing dinghy for cruising but mostly racing across the World.
As standard the Laser is a great boat but of course there are some additional items you might want to add to your Laser dinghy. Here are 5 items we think are great additions to make your Laser sailing easier and more enjoyable.
If you sail an XD version of the Laser then you've surely been there trying to undo the split pin and ring which attaches your kicker or vang unit to the lower mast. Although superb for reliability split pins are a pain in the backside, especially when you have cold hands after an amazing sail.
We offer this push button pin which fits the kicker/vang unit and simply pushes in, to release you just push the button and pull it out - simple.
The Velocitek Prism is an electronic compass that's lightweight and comes with a huge display that you can view from all most angles while sailing your Laser dinghy.
The sailing compass is battery powered and also has a solar panel on top to keep the battery topped up.
This compass will help with your racing so you can keep an eye on your direction and the wind shifts that are hitting you.
The deck bracket comes complete with velcro that sticks to your hull, the bracket allows your XD control lines to run smoothly through the hole in the bracket. The compass secures to the bracket and the bracket can be taken off when you are not using the boat.

A carbon tiller extension that's a little bit different.
The carbon tiller extension from Speed Six provides a unique grip one way but is smooth the other. Hard wearing and long lasting this has been used by both the Laser 4.7 and Laser Standard national champions.

Add additional protection to your Laser in those high wear areas.
This kit is specifically made for the Laser and comes with all of the protection you'll need that's cut to size so they fit perfectly.
The Clamcleat aero cleat can be used on your hiking strap system so you can easily adjust where your toe strap sits based on the wind conditions.

We are here to help and are always happy to provide our opinion on your sailing challenges. We have a number of sponsored sailors who sail Lasers and have picked up lots of hints and tips from them over the years.
Love the range of cups, because a brew is the first call on any boat, before and after the maneuver, rig, derig, and before ju.ping ship, it's also the first thing I do before I investigating a real issue ... but us commercial skippers need a cool head and lots of coffee, served piping hot, normally drunk cold haha
Included in the batten set is a small batten pusher used to set the velcro closure. Essential bit of kit. Check Youtube for the correct way to use it.
There’s that saying we all know… the quality of these items are superb!
I’m new to sailing but as in all sports, hobbies, pastimes/leisure time pursuits etc that I take up and participate in, I’ve always had the same attitude and method, with regard to when it comes to the research and purchase of the correct gear… in that I buy the best that I can at the best price i.e buy it once and it will last; without the need (when buying a lesser quality item), to find that that you’d actually like to upgrade…
Zhik to me is top quality gear!
I’m 5’9” and 11 and a half stone
This outfit fits me like a glove and a second skin. If you can (and excuse the pun!) push the boat out with regard to the pricier purchase price, imo you will be making a great choice! 10 out of 10!
Good quality fitted well, length good
Great service
Fast delivery - exactly as per order - many thanks
Nice smooth finish and easy to splice
This is not only comfortable but really roomy. The internal pocket is just right for my laptop and the straps mean that some items can be clipped on the outside. I’ll be using this for years to come!!
Great, exactly what I wanted they seem high quality and dont rust.
Such an easy website to use and the team are great. Fast arrival and brilliant condition. Definitely my go-to for all my sailing needs
Super value for money and delivered super quickly too. We were back on the water racing within no time
It’s really good you can get a spare for this because often you only lose this bit! It’s a much cheaper option and comes quickly.
The wheels were easily fitted to my laser launching trolley using existing washers and retaining clips.
Have been used only a couple of times so far but run smoothly and seem to do the
job fine.
Really pleased with the cover fits perfectly. I knew when it would arrive the company kept me up to date with the process
Good service, no complaints.
