Want to add a new rig to your ILCA or Laser sailing dinghy? Looking to upgrade from a smaller rig? Looking to add some turbo to your boat this sailing season?
The ILCA is perfect due to the ability and versatility to change the size of the ILCA sail based on the conditions or the size of the sailor.
The different rigs are based on the sail size and the only items you need to change when changing the rig are the lower mast and the sail. However, our sail and rig packages also include battens so you can save time moving between sail without having to move battens between sails.
An ILCA Rig Package is the perfect way to allow for a quick ILCA Rig swap. This is a whole rig package so you only have to purchase one item to get everything you need. Whether you are upgrading your boat or moving up to the next size rig this is a perfect purchase for you as an ILCA sailor.
What's Included:
The only difference in a sail package and rig package in the inclusion of a lower mast on the rig package. If you already have a lower mast for the sail the sail package is what you need.
ILCA rig packages are available for the ILCA 4, 6 and 7 rigs.
We also sell replica rig packages and ILCA sail packages which could be perfect if you're sailing for fun or at a local club level. These are slightly more budget friendly but there are some differences to enable a lower price.
The main difference is that these are not class legal for ILCA racing at a competitive level, however they are great for training and local club racing.
The other key difference is the quality and weight of the cloth used to construct the sail.
| ILCA Replica Sail | ILCA Sail | |
| Class Legal for Racing | No | Yes |
| Cloth Weight | 3.8oz | 4.2oz on ILCA 4/6 and 4.5oz on ILCA 7 |
| Logo | No Laser or ILCA logo | ILCA Class Logo |
| Rig Size Marking | Plain White | Coloured marking based on sail size |
The ILCA replica sail is a great choice for new sailors looking to bring an older boat back to life. However, due to lighter cloth, these will not last as long as the class legal official sails. The thinner cloth is subject to stretching and losing its shape quicker than the ILCA sail. This can lead to slowing the boat down whilst you are sailing due to the loss of the correct sail shape and structure.
Service was great, delivery was quick and item was good quality.
These are excellent launching trolley wheels. Much better quality than the cheaper 'knock-off' ones on eBay! It took a couple of minutes to take off my old ones and fit these
Recently bought these as a birthday present for my dad. Order arrived super speedy (even with a treat of love hearts in it). The fit and quality is great, he really loved them
Great service
The wheels are exactly what I ordered. Delivery was immediate from the store and they arrived exactly when promised. 100% - job well done!
Excellent fast service from this company. Very good price for the Parka & free shipping. As a Motorhome & dog owner I bought the Parka to use when these activities frequently get cold & wet! I haven't had cause to use it yet. I've tried it on & it's just what I needed. It's a good long length (I'm 5ft 8") & does away with the need for waterproof trousers. Very handy zipped pockets & I like the fact that you can tighten up the wrist cuffs. I'm very pleased with my purchase & would certainly recommend Sailing Chandlery. Thank you.
Good quality product and easy to fit.
Not used yet but known it will be perfect. Excellent customer service from sailing chandlery as usual.
Great service and a great price. Order delivered in a timely manner.
Would definitely recommend and use again, the next time something on the boat inevitably breaks :)
I had a difficult repair, with a part of the sail that har ripped off. I used the tape to cover a large darn, taped it on both sides, and oversewed it for additional security. Easy to use, decent adhesion, probably no need to oversew.
This is exactly what I wanted. It’s super easy to charge, it’s convenient to store and carry but most importantly, it’s incredibly loud!!
A very reliable cleat Will not accidentally re-cleat.
It’s great- love it for my open water swimming.
Fits everything in.
Super fast delivery and friendly
Sticky back peels off easily and glue seems strong. Quite possibly this is the same product as supplied in the pre-cut kits for the ILCA mast bottom sections?
Makes a lot of sense to use sacrificial strips to slow down wear on the mast and gel coat.
Better value to buy several meters of this one and with care and a sharp blade you can cut desired lengths by wrapping around the mast and cutting neatly.
Replacement laser block arrived very quickly. Part was exactly the same as the original and I was back on the water without missing a weekend. Great service.
