With the demise of the Laser and introduction of the ILCA came a whole host of new boat builders, one of those being Devoti.
Sailing Chandlery are proud to be a UK Devoti dealer for the ILCA, supplying boats all over the country.
To any sailor who admires quality boats that perform Devoti should not be new name. Founded by Luca Devoti, an Olympic medallist himself, the business has built the best Finns on the market for years which have been used by lots of top sailors including Ben Ainslie. They have won a number of World Championships and have performed very well on the Olympic circuit, both at events and the games.
To speak to the quality of Devoti, this weekend there was a Devoti Finn on the stand opposite us at the RYA Dinghy & Watersports show. With a quick look over this boat you could see that it wasn’t brand new – a closer look showed stickers from both the Rio Olympics and Tokyo Olympics – name another boat builder who can make boats which can still be competitive after 4 years on an Olympic circuit, arguably the last was Marstrom in their creation of the Tornado catamaran.
Since being introduced as an ILCA builder the team at Devoti have been working hard to perfect their ILCA, attention to detail is key for their team and any small gain that can be made is implemented.
We feel the Devoti ILCA is technically better with a new improved hull shape that is built to perform at the highest level. The introduction of a stiffer hull and lighter decks brings excellent performance that the top ILCA sailors across the World love from Devoti.
As we’ve mentioned above Devoti are known for their quality, they put more hours into the boat at the point of build to ensure every part is perfect leading to better consistency, accuracy and quality across every Devoti ILCA they build – a key point when building one design boats.
This is the reason they are the choice of top ILCA sailors such as:
The Devoti ILCA has also been chosen as the boat for the 2023 Mens ISAF World Championships.
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
