Want to add a new rig to your ILCA or Laser sailing dinghy? Looking to upgrade from a smaller rig? Looking to add some turbo to your boat this sailing season?
The ILCA is perfect due to the ability and versatility to change the size of the ILCA sail based on the conditions or the size of the sailor.
The different rigs are based on the sail size and the only items you need to change when changing the rig are the lower mast and the sail. However, our sail and rig packages also include battens so you can save time moving between sail without having to move battens between sails.
An ILCA Rig Package is the perfect way to allow for a quick ILCA Rig swap. This is a whole rig package so you only have to purchase one item to get everything you need. Whether you are upgrading your boat or moving up to the next size rig this is a perfect purchase for you as an ILCA sailor.
What's Included:
The only difference in a sail package and rig package in the inclusion of a lower mast on the rig package. If you already have a lower mast for the sail the sail package is what you need.
ILCA rig packages are available for the ILCA 4, 6 and 7 rigs.
We also sell replica rig packages and ILCA sail packages which could be perfect if you're sailing for fun or at a local club level. These are slightly more budget friendly but there are some differences to enable a lower price.
The main difference is that these are not class legal for ILCA racing at a competitive level, however they are great for training and local club racing.
The other key difference is the quality and weight of the cloth used to construct the sail.
| ILCA Replica Sail | ILCA Sail | |
| Class Legal for Racing | No | Yes |
| Cloth Weight | 3.8oz | 4.2oz on ILCA 4/6 and 4.5oz on ILCA 7 |
| Logo | No Laser or ILCA logo | ILCA Class Logo |
| Rig Size Marking | Plain White | Coloured marking based on sail size |
The ILCA replica sail is a great choice for new sailors looking to bring an older boat back to life. However, due to lighter cloth, these will not last as long as the class legal official sails. The thinner cloth is subject to stretching and losing its shape quicker than the ILCA sail. This can lead to slowing the boat down whilst you are sailing due to the loss of the correct sail shape and structure.
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
