In this article we are going to guide you through building an adjustable toe strap system for your Laser sailing dinghy.
First, undo the existing rope and elastic that is securing your toe strap to your boat. Take this as an opportunity to check over you cockpit fixings making sure they are secure and replace if necessary.
Take your new evolution race rope and tie a bowline to the port eye strap. Make sure to leave a long enough tail so this stays tied up.
Thread the evolution race rope through the hiking strap making sure that the toe strap is the correct way up.
Once you have threaded the rope through the toe strap, grab your CL828-68 Clamcleat and make sure the cleat is facing towards the front of the boat then thread the rope into the slot like in the picture below. Tie a stopper knot on each side of the cleat to keep secure and in place.
Next, thread the race rope round the starboard eye strap and back into the teeth of the cleat.
Take your 3mm off cut and thread it through the two open holes in the centre of the aero base and tie the ends together. This will keep the cleat upright and always ready to use.
You can cut the leftover rope to your desired length or tie it into a rope handle to make it shorter.
If you have any questions about creating this system then get in touch with our friendly team, we are always happy to help. You can call us on 01268 222912 or email info@sailingchandlery.com

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
