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.
Great to deal with no problems .
Done quickly
It's sturdy, it's not going to fail like a block. Great for trapeze blocks
As requested and fast delivery
These are the only covers that will stand the high temperatures, humidity and pollution from the near by power station. We are based in Larnaca Cyprus with very long summers. I will highly recommend them. Plus Sailing Chandlery staff are brilliant.
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
