Have you ever tried to attached a mainsheet block that sits on top of a spring? It's a near impossible task, especially if that block is attached using a split ring....
We kit out many new Lasers and when doing so you have to get your fingers into the spring to attach and thread the split ring while the spring is fighting against you.
So, here is the boat hack. You can use a cable tie (reusable one is ideal) or a bit of rope to tie and squash the spring down while you attach the block. We find it's best to do this on two sides of the spring. This keeps the spring closed and out of the way allowing you to easily attach the mainsheet block.
When you're done simply remove the cable tie or rope and the spring will pop up holding the block in the perfect upright position ready to sail.
This has saved us hours over the years and is something we feel we should really pass on.
This is exactly what I wanted. It’s super easy to charge, it’s convenient to store and carry but most importantly, it’s incredibly loud!!
A very reliable cleat Will not accidentally re-cleat.
It’s great- love it for my open water swimming.
Fits everything in.
Super fast delivery and friendly
Sticky back peels off easily and glue seems strong. Quite possibly this is the same product as supplied in the pre-cut kits for the ILCA mast bottom sections?
Makes a lot of sense to use sacrificial strips to slow down wear on the mast and gel coat.
Better value to buy several meters of this one and with care and a sharp blade you can cut desired lengths by wrapping around the mast and cutting neatly.
Replacement laser block arrived very quickly. Part was exactly the same as the original and I was back on the water without missing a weekend. Great service.
Very good quality cover, should protect my granddaughter’s boat for many seasons to come, thanks.
This looks more like a proper hold all.
Great, speedy service and quality product. Thank you
Well thought out kit bag with a large internal compartment and small mesh pockets inside and out. The wet compartment is really useful. Appears to be well made and the strap is comfy over the shoulder. Easily packed in my winter gear plus a few spare tops etc but if you like to carry multiple winter wetsuits or have lots of spares you may want to go for a larger 90l bag.
Great for work at sea and lesuire
