Making sure that you have the correct ILCA sail numbers for your rig is as important as making sure that you place them in the correct place. Incorrect look, shape, size or placement of your sail numbers can lead to disqualification at large-scale events as the race committee may be unable to read your number on a busy start/finish line.
Here are some tips for applying your ILCA sail numbers and what types and sizes you should be using on your ILCA rig.
With ILCA sail numbers there are two sizes available which are 300mm or 230mm tall.
Country Code Letters are required if you are sailing your ILCA at World, International or Regional Championships or events where the Notice of Race or Sailing Instructions states they are required.
There are two sizes available 300mm and 230mm tall.
NOTE: World Sailing Rules of Sailing Appendix G1.2 specifies that national letters shall be clearly legible and of the same colour.
If you are a woman and plan on sailing at World, International or Regional ILCA Championships you'll need a red rhombus applied to your sail too. This can also be the case for other events where the Notice of Race or Sailing Instructions states the sails used shall carry a red rhombus. The rhombus on the ILCA sail is applied above the top batten pocket on both sides.
Slides easily through the blocks whilst providing firm grip
Item has brilliant bounce back ability, thanks
Simple to fit and makes launching and recovery simple. Well worth the investment
Quality material and design enables my lug sail to be stowed securely on it's spars
Great wide and grippy tyres for a shingle/sharp launching area and compound for an RS400.
Receive fantastic service couldn’t help any more if they tried. Arranged for me to collect my order at a time that suited even when it was outside of working hours. Much appreciated, thank you sailing Chandlery.
Excellent gloves, perhaps the best I have used. The fingers are long enough to provide protection from sheets/halyards and fit nicely so that ropes cannot get between the glove and finger. If the winter gloves are any guide they should also be very durable.
really happy with these! the thick material means that I will be warm whilst sailing, and the 3 finger coverage allows mobility and warmth on the water. the added grip will really help on the heavy wind reaches, can't wait to test them out this weekend. shipping was really quick, with a sweet included in my order thank you.
As always, great stock, quick delivery, perfect, thank you
The footprint of these is much more than standard trolley wheels so they roll on sand much easier.
These Falker Burgees are essential for our training fleet, giving an instant indication of apparent wind direction.
Made of stainless steel they do not corrode, and are easy to fit into the mast bracket.
It is a shame the sail part is not available as a spare as this part does not last forever, unlike the ss frame.
Nice product.
Arrived quickly and fits very well
Fast, efficient service and the lightweight trolley is perfect for my needs.
We needed to change the size and it looks like they will change the Hikers for a size up. Thank you very much
