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.
If you have any questions, or if you get stuck at any point please feel free to get in touch. Our team have years of experience of supplying Lasers and parts.
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.
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!
Excellent fit for a topaz. Great service on collection.
Perfect
Love this bag. Great wet area within it as well.
Excellent to use as for a birthday gift to family members keen on sailing
Currently 2 weeks into an Eastern Mediterranean trip with these shoes. Grip is great and they drain really well. Comfort is brilliant… as long as you take the right size. I followed the measurement guidelines and they work well. Highly recommend shoe!
Quick despatch and a good quality product. Moves smoothly along the boom.
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
Reeves really easily, jams well and excellent grip
I bought the burgee and clip for a Hartley 12 and found downwind sailing much easier single handed. The clip came with the screws so it was a 10 minute job including dropping the mast. Website worked well again and the items were delivered quickly so a good job all round.
Work really well.
