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.

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.
