Alex is in the process of moving from up from his Topper to the ILCA 4. After a brilliant year on the water winning the Topper Worlds this year. He has a busy schedule of ILCA events this year and we look forward to working with him to find out what unique parts and systems he is using on his boat.
Let's find out some more info on how and where he started sailing.
6 Years Old
HIs first boat was a AB… a what I hear you ask? It’s a 2-person boat that is super old. They are locally made and only exist at Parkstone Yacht club. I came 2nd in the AB World Championships, we didn’t have to travel far 🤣
Parkstone Yacht Club
Winning the 2023 Topper World Championships in Cork, Ireland. I went over the finish line grabbed the GB flag and did a front flip off my boat, I was elated.
Riva del Garda, Italy, bring on the wind! I went there in 2022 and won silver fleet. It can be 5 knots one minute then 30 the next, awesome sailing.
Become an Olympian at 15! Only joking, my goal is to focus, train hard, coach younger kids and qualify for the gold fleet at my first ILCA 4 Worlds. But most of all, keep having fun sailing 😃
At school, every day. If my lessons could all be replaced by sailing, I’d be a very happy teenager. But if this wasn’t possible, then somewhere hot.
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.
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.
