Making sure that you have the correct ILCA sail numbers for your rig is as important as making sure that you place them in the correct place. Incorrect look, shape, size or placement of your sail numbers can lead to disqualification at large-scale events as the race committee may be unable to read your number on a busy start/finish line.
Here are some tips for applying your ILCA sail numbers and what types and sizes you should be using on your ILCA rig.
With ILCA sail numbers there are two sizes available which are 300mm or 230mm tall.
Country Code Letters are required if you are sailing your ILCA at World, International or Regional Championships or events where the Notice of Race or Sailing Instructions states they are required.
There are two sizes available 300mm and 230mm tall.
NOTE: World Sailing Rules of Sailing Appendix G1.2 specifies that national letters shall be clearly legible and of the same colour.
If you are a woman and plan on sailing at World, International or Regional ILCA Championships you'll need a red rhombus applied to your sail too. This can also be the case for other events where the Notice of Race or Sailing Instructions states the sails used shall carry a red rhombus. The rhombus on the ILCA sail is applied above the top batten pocket on both sides.
I rang to request some advice on replacement parts for my dinghy and was very impressed with the excellent advice and efficient delivery of the required parts. Many thanks
Great product, safely packaged, delivered on time, at a competitive price. One more thing - the person on the end of the phone is an actual person, informative, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. What more could you ask for.
The sales team were quick responding to our questions, dispatched to us promptly, and the product is a perfect replacement for our old tiller which ended up at the bottom of a lake!
It was time for me to upgrade to a newer Ilca and it was recommended that I get a Devoti. The price was competitive and the service from Andrew and his team was fantastic. I received lots of communication and the boat was delivered to me within 2 weeks. It is really great that Sailing Chandlery take the time to set up the rigging so that you can get straight on the water. I am very pleased with my new boat and am loving sailing it. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Ordered a dyneema RSAero halyard on the Thursday. It arrived by mid day on the Friday and was used on the Saturday. Excellent product and service. Thank you
Cover arrived after three days and is well made and completely covers the boat boom up . The straps and clips all work fine. Good product.
My local chandlery were unable to supply a white inspection hatch and so it was amatter of looking online. Sailing Chandlery had the cover I needed in stock at a good price and delivery. I had never used them before but the service I received was excellent with the delivery on time and the hatch is now fitted.
I will definitely return, especially with the discounts on offer. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Always happy with my orders from Sailing Chandlery. They are quick to post and very helpful when I have had a question.
Jason delivered the boat on time at Hayling Island Sailing Club. The boat was new and all the spars were in perfect condition. Jason came to pick up the boat and return the deposit which I gave at the time of the delivery. Every interaction with Andrew and Jason were handled very professionally. I will recommend to any sailor Sailing Chandlery in the future. I really appreciated how easy it was to charter this boat. Thank you very much. Jacques Kerrest
Prompt delivery, with helpful updates and time slot spot on. Perfect new sail at a great price and the number fixing service is well worth it. It even won its first race! Thank you.
I needed GBR letters for the ILCA Europeans and they arrived by the next post.
I made a mistake on my order and it was put right at zero cost to me ! Amazing !
I’ll certainly be back
Product exactly what I wanted
