Sponsored sailor and RYA Youth National Champion James Foster tells us what he thinks are the top 5 must-have products if you're a Laser sailor.
This world-renowned combination allows maximum grip of the toe strap, reducing fatigue and allows for the optimal hiking technique.
The unique tooth grip system is on the underside of the strap and on top of the boot, the teeth lock in with each other to keep your feet secure while hiking.
Sailing Chandlery offer the boots and strap together as a package.
Zhik 360 Sailing Boots with Laser Grip II Hiking Strap
The low profile of this buoyancy aid allows you to get under the boom with ease and it feels like you aren’t even wearing a buoyancy aid. Its ergonomic profile allows you to move freely without restriction.
Zhik now have this available in two colours, the original black/lime and also a new grey/blue colour.
The perfect summer sailing wetsuit:
The Microfleece X skiff suit is also available in a ladies version.

Greatly minimise friction in your control lines allowing precise and easy adjustment while racing. Personally, I have found that this Harken block works so much better than the standard 18mm blocks that come with your Laser.
This Harken block comes as standard with some dyneema core rope to attach the block to your boat, however, you can also use 12 strand dyneema to attach the block to your boat.
It is essential to update your control lines and ropes from a safety standpoint; but they are also essential as they make your boat feel fresh and new. I would recommend a complete rope update as the first step to making any Laser ready to race.

quick and easy to deal with prompt delivery on order will use again
We ordered a 100m reel of sheet rope for our sailing club's training fleet of Toppers and Fevas. It runs through the blocks very easily and is great to hold. The children on the courses love it!
Great little piece of kit, use it for giving me an idea of wind direction in the marina on my narrowboat!!
Great harness, really comfortable, looks to be good quality and well made.
Great service from Sailing Chandlery.
Delivery was super quick after bank holiday, and product is just as described. Super convenient pockets inside a comfy backpack kitbag so great and practical for walking to/from dinghy parks
Just a small item, a bung! The super quick delivery got me back on the water. Thank you.
Good rope for low load jobs - easy to splice, smooth and flexible.
Perfectly layed out numbers
WIP have really pulled out all the stops on this impact vest to suit all forms of hi-performance watersports. Feels great on, good snug fit - no restrictions to movement and doesn't impact on trapezing like a lot of buoyancy aids. A very well made, high quality vest that has everything you need to keep you safe on the water.
Purchased for my old Albacore sailing dinghy. This is a well made quality cover with straps and clips that look like they’ll last many years. I no longer have to bail out the boat before sailing!
Found the staff at Sailing Chandlery most helpful to a no-yachtsman with flags to fly to cheer the day.
It may seem strange but my husband purchased this item as he was making me some wooden bunting for our outside space. The range of colours was fab and the rope is ideal for our needs.
