In this article we are going to guide you through building an adjustable toe strap system for your Laser sailing dinghy.
First, undo the existing rope and elastic that is securing your toe strap to your boat. Take this as an opportunity to check over you cockpit fixings making sure they are secure and replace if necessary.
Take your new evolution race rope and tie a bowline to the port eye strap. Make sure to leave a long enough tail so this stays tied up.
Thread the evolution race rope through the hiking strap making sure that the toe strap is the correct way up.
Once you have threaded the rope through the toe strap, grab your CL828-68 Clamcleat and make sure the cleat is facing towards the front of the boat then thread the rope into the slot like in the picture below. Tie a stopper knot on each side of the cleat to keep secure and in place.
Next, thread the race rope round the starboard eye strap and back into the teeth of the cleat.
Take your 3mm off cut and thread it through the two open holes in the centre of the aero base and tie the ends together. This will keep the cleat upright and always ready to use.
You can cut the leftover rope to your desired length or tie it into a rope handle to make it shorter.

Bought for my son. He was delighted with it!
I did wonder how I would change the battery on my timer and this kit s the answer !. I race land yachts and do a two minute rolling start which can be rather mad it times so i need that battery !
Fit ok and feels well padded on sole compared to my old worn out boots
Having thoroughly enjoyed a week's training at the Lyme Regis Sea School this phrase is indelibly printed on my sub conscience (the instructors will be pleased to learn) so to have this mug to remind me each morning at breakfast is a treat.
Good quality product worn well first season.
Reliable and delivered on time as stated. Workmanship is very good and the new spinnaker works a treat. Thank you

The Zihk Sailing kit bag is very well-made and much more practical than my rucksack. The ordering process was slick and the delivery was fast. I’m looking forward to my next sailing trip with this product. Good price too, thank you!
