Over the past few years the Laser Pico kicker system, also known as a vang system has been upgraded and it now includes more advanced blocks which give you a little more purchase in the system.
In this article we are going to run through the set up of the kickers system step by step guide.
Included within the system is:
The whole complete kit can be purchased through our website and is called the Laser Pico Race Vang/Kicker.
Here are the steps to rig your Laser Pico kicker system. Where we say front or back this means the front or back of the boat.
Unpack all of the parts from the packaging, you should have five items in total.
You might find it easier to secure the base unit at the bottom and attach one of the 30mm blocks using the shackle to the underside of the boom.
Take the base unit and tie the shorter piece of rope to the metal eye on top of the cleat using a bowline.
Run the rope up through one of the 30mm blocks going back to front. Then tie the end of the rope to the shackle on the other 30mm block using a bowline.
Take the longer piece of rope, thread it through the centre of the second 30mm block underneath the Selden branding and tie a bowline.
Take the rope down towards the base unit and thread it through the smaller block on the top of the base unit going from front to back.
Take the rope back up and thread it through the second 30mm block from back to front.
Now feed the rope back down towards the base unit and go through the larger pulley from front of the boat to back of the boat and out through the cleat and fairlead.
Tie a figure of 8 knot in the end of the rope.

A good product efficiently dispatched
The definitive racing watch - my daughter is delighted. Hopefully it will be put to good use in the Uni sailing team. Great service as usual from Sailing Chandlery.
Just the job for mooring warps for my motor canoe. Pleasant to handle and plenty of elasticity. Delivery prompt. Very happy.
Very pleased - strong rowlock at a reasonable price. Prompt delivery.
Quality product. I have used these before, but have learned only recently that replacement O-rings are available. Definitely a bonus!
Delivery was prompt and the goods were well packaged. Very pleased.
Perfect shape for a complicated job and delivery and communications were excellent
The 750ml size is idea for longer outings, particularly in the warmer months. A good quality bottle.
Sturdy well-shaped brim, good stitching. All in all, very good value.
A very robust design with an easy to use valve and attachment ring. It also has a loop to tuck the valve away to stop it snagging on the shroud as it's hoisted which is a nice addition. Overall an excellent float.
Good price, delivered on time.
Great to deal with no problems .
Done quickly
It's sturdy, it's not going to fail like a block. Great for trapeze blocks
