Have you just bought a new ILCA? There will always be parts you will want to change that work better with your sailing style.
A couple of our sponsored sailors have recently collected their new Devoti ILCA s, just in time for the RYA Youth nationals. It is always great seeing and chatting with them, and finding out how and what they change on their boat from standard to help them get to the front of the fleet.
There are two methods to do this: the old-style friction method which can be done with just a length of rope and the new-style aero Camcleat option.
The Split ring that comes as standard with the ILCA vang can be tricky to remove, due to its small size it can become quite difficult to undo the split ring when you are cold, tired and frustrated from a day on the water.
The ILCA push button pin fixes this problem with one touch! Simply press the small button at the end, this will release the pin and let you take your kicker off with ease. We have options for the Harken Vang and Allen Vang
The standard 16mm block plate blocks are brilliant for most people however due to the small sheave size they can sometimes be less effective when trying to alter your controls downwind with your sail in its furthest out position. The larger 29mm are fixed on with a bolt and there is no chance of you loosing the split ring
The Zhik Grip 2 Hiking strap combined with either the Zhik 360 or the 560 sailing boots is the ultimate hiking strap on the market for the Laser/ ILCA. The bottom side of the hiking strap has the same interlocking grip as the top of the boots giving you an unmatched fit and feel with the boat yet when you need to move your feet you can.
The main reason our sponsored sailor Jack uses the 40mm ratchet block over the 57mm standard ratchet block is that when you have your control line on and the ropes in the cockpit, he has on occasion got the control line tangled around the mainsheet rope and they would get pulled though the main block, using the smaller block just allows a 6 or 7mm main sheet though with precession.
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!
