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.
Speed Stix Laser Carbon Tiller Extension
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.
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
