In this article we are going to run through what you get and how to set up the vang/kicker system in a step by step guide.
Included within the system is:
The whole complete kit can be purchased through our website and is called the ILCA XD Vang Pack
Here are the steps to rig your Laser Vang 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 7 items in total.
Take the base unit and threat the 4mm race rope through the cleat and round the sheave.
Run the rope up to your mid block (18mm double block) round and don to the the bottom roller on the base unit.
Repeat step 3 once more and the thread the rope though the centre of the 18mm block.
Tie a bowline to secure the rope.
Grab your 3mm dyneema begin threading through your double block, in the top though the middle and back out the top.
(To make this easier try a small amount of tape around the end of the rope as a draw cord)
Now feed the rope up to the top block and key. Then down to base unit and back up to block.
Tie a bowline in the rope and you are done.
You can also thread the plastic handle on or tie a rope handle to make the rope easier to pull on while sailing.

Nice-looking bung, all in one piece. No more looking for the bung when you have let it drain from the last time, and bought this to create a second drain socket in my Solo.
They have good paddings
It fits exactly fine to laser pico. Straps are very usefull. Hole at the back helps you store your upper mast easily under the cover. Looks very durable. Delivery was very fast. Thanks
Product as described and very prompt delivery
Usual harken good stuff
Easy to find, quick dispatch, on the boat now.
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.
Fantastic price for first class quality
They work well
Fantastic product. Toasty feel
Really good selection of rope sizes, delivered speedily. Great idea to put the offcuts to good use. Caused a few laughs when people realised what I'd ordered ;-)
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!
Love the fact they don’t leak.
You do need to squeeze to get liquid out. Which is so much better. Don’t lose liquid etc.
nice size and robust
Great for when it’s not too cold. But is windy and wet. Needing to stay dry on top.
Very easy to install. May need some additional sealing for complete water-tightness.
