Sponsored sailor and RYA Youth National Champion James Foster tells us what he thinks are the top 5 must-have products if you're a Laser sailor.
This world-renowned combination allows maximum grip of the toe strap, reducing fatigue and allows for the optimal hiking technique.
The unique tooth grip system is on the underside of the strap and on top of the boot, the teeth lock in with each other to keep your feet secure while hiking.
Sailing Chandlery offer the boots and strap together as a package.

The low profile of this buoyancy aid allows you to get under the boom with ease and it feels like you aren’t even wearing a buoyancy aid. Its ergonomic profile allows you to move freely without restriction.
Zhik now have this available in two colours, the original black/lime and also a new grey/blue colour.
The perfect summer sailing wetsuit:
The Microfleece X skiff suit is also available in a ladies version.

Greatly minimise friction in your control lines allowing precise and easy adjustment while racing. Personally, I have found that this Harken block works so much better than the standard 18mm blocks that come with your Laser.
This Harken block comes as standard with some dyneema core rope to attach the block to your boat, however, you can also use 12 strand dyneema to attach the block to your boat.
It is essential to update your control lines and ropes from a safety standpoint; but they are also essential as they make your boat feel fresh and new. I would recommend a complete rope update as the first step to making any Laser ready to race.

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
Thank you Sailing Chandlery for delivering my new sailing watch.
An excellent product and decent value.
Service was great, delivery was quick and item was good quality.
These are excellent launching trolley wheels. Much better quality than the cheaper 'knock-off' ones on eBay! It took a couple of minutes to take off my old ones and fit these
Recently bought these as a birthday present for my dad. Order arrived super speedy (even with a treat of love hearts in it). The fit and quality is great, he really loved them
Great service
The wheels are exactly what I ordered. Delivery was immediate from the store and they arrived exactly when promised. 100% - job well done!
Excellent fast service from this company. Very good price for the Parka & free shipping. As a Motorhome & dog owner I bought the Parka to use when these activities frequently get cold & wet! I haven't had cause to use it yet. I've tried it on & it's just what I needed. It's a good long length (I'm 5ft 8") & does away with the need for waterproof trousers. Very handy zipped pockets & I like the fact that you can tighten up the wrist cuffs. I'm very pleased with my purchase & would certainly recommend Sailing Chandlery. Thank you.
Good quality product and easy to fit.
