Alex is in the process of moving from up from his Topper to the ILCA 4. After a brilliant year on the water winning the Topper Worlds this year. He has a busy schedule of ILCA events this year and we look forward to working with him to find out what unique parts and systems he is using on his boat.
Let's find out some more info on how and where he started sailing.
6 Years Old
HIs first boat was a AB… a what I hear you ask? It’s a 2-person boat that is super old. They are locally made and only exist at Parkstone Yacht club. I came 2nd in the AB World Championships, we didn’t have to travel far 🤣
Parkstone Yacht Club
Winning the 2023 Topper World Championships in Cork, Ireland. I went over the finish line grabbed the GB flag and did a front flip off my boat, I was elated.
Riva del Garda, Italy, bring on the wind! I went there in 2022 and won silver fleet. It can be 5 knots one minute then 30 the next, awesome sailing.
Become an Olympian at 15! Only joking, my goal is to focus, train hard, coach younger kids and qualify for the gold fleet at my first ILCA 4 Worlds. But most of all, keep having fun sailing 😃
At school, every day. If my lessons could all be replaced by sailing, I’d be a very happy teenager. But if this wasn’t possible, then somewhere hot.
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
Thank you Sailing Chandlery for delivering my new sailing watch.
