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.
If you have any questions, or if you get stuck at any point please feel free to get in touch. Our team have years of experience of supplying Laser Pico parts and also brand new Laser Picos.

Quality product, fast delivery perfect
I recently purchased the Sprint 15 Trampoline Cover from Sailing Chandlery, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The cover is made from high-quality PVC material that feels durable and built to last, even in harsh weather conditions.
The fit on my Sprint 15 is absolutely perfect—it's snug and secure, ensuring that the trampoline stays protected from rain, sun, and dirt. The attention to detail, like reinforced edges and reliable fastenings, really sets this cover apart.
It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design, making it both functional and easy to use. The vibrant blue color adds a nice touch and is easy to spot in the boat park.
Shipping was fast, and the customer service from Sailing Chandlery was top-notch. They kept me updated throughout the process and ensured a smooth transaction.
If you're looking for a reliable cover for your Sprint 15, I highly recommend this product. It's a fantastic investment to keep your boat in great shape!
The Topper rope pack arrived shortly after I ordered it. Very good service from Sailing Chandlery. I will fit it when I get home.
The sail numbers were simple to attach
Great value for money and swiftly delivered as always by Sailing Chandlery.
Very good sunglasses, I’ve just had eye surgery and was struggling with peripheral light sensitivity, these are great for that and will be terrific next season sailing.
Great to see these available again, much better quality and sensitivity than the alternatives
We have just purchased the Mersea twin Laser box trailer. Ordering the trailer, and adding the lid afterwards, was easy and straightforward with accurate lead times for its delivery. We paid for delivery to the South Coast and the trailer arrived bang on time along with other items we ordered. Fantastic customer service all round!
The trailer had its first trip this weekend, a 3hr drive on a mixture of town, country and motorway roads and it was a dream to tow - no noise save the odd rattle across potholes, easy to see in the car mirrors and very easy to connect and pull. It's also easy to manoeuvre two by just two people.
Our junior sailor was delighted by capacious box section with two access points and he was able to stow all of his kit to travel and then all covers, bags and kit whilst on the water today.
We're very pleased with the trailer - thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Good quality splicing tool, sensible price and swiftly delivered. Thank you
The mast was delivered the next day what a excellent delivery service I had the mast by 0830 I now know I can count on you, well done.
The 100m reel of 4mm pre-stretched polyester rope I ordered for our Club's fleet of training dinghies is very good quality and really competitively priced. It arrived quickly so we could re-rig control-lines before the week's training course finished.
Quick to order and fast delivery, thank you. Good to have the wheel washers and retaining clips included in the package.
Cannot fault the service received. Queries responded to very quickly, thank you Jason. Very fast, efficient despatch and delivery. My son is very happy with the Aqua fleece.
Wouldn't hesitate to use again.
