The Laser is the most popular racing dinghy in the World. Here are Sailing Chandlery we're an authorised Laser Performance dealer for all of your Laser parts.
At Sailing Chandlery we've produced our own top quality Laser breathable top cover for your boat. Made in the UK our covers use only the best materials and don't include any eyelets or strings which tend to degrade over time.
The cover takes advantage of a polycotton material which is a mixture of polyester and cotton.
The top cover allows the boat to breath with the air running through freely until the cover becomes wet. At that point the cotton in the cover expands to close the weave in the material making it completely waterproof.
When the cover starts to dry again the cotton shrinks down allowing the air to run through again.
Find out more about our Laser breathable top cover on the product page where you can see additional photos.

My favourite rope for splicing
Solid folding lock knife, this is my third one (dropped the last and the first I had for over 6 years).
Looks like it will be good at cutting rope, I've only ever used it for cutting cheese...
we order some stainless beta pins, good price and very quick delivery.
Zhik described this range as medium waterproofness. Unsure what this means and whether I need a spare set of gear for stronger weather. Not convinced but it fits well and it’s a good make. Would be good to see a long term review
The Inglefield clip was invented by Lieutenant Edward Inglefield RN in the 1890s, it has been standard issue to British warships since 1895.
The idea was to make a reliable and fast way of assembling a hoist of signal flags, which they do very well.
I have had a long involvement with these clips, mostly for flags, but they have other uses, for example the West Lancashire Seabird One Design (a half rater) use the clips for their spinnaker halyard attachment to the sail, and I have seen a big version cut out of steel plate for a special job.
The standard clips are made from brass, these medium size nylon ones are clearly not as strong as brass, but they are good for small flags.
A further advantage is the avoidance of metallic stains on the bunting.
I don't think they would be strong enough for a big flag in windy conditions, but that isnt what i purchased them for.
Brilliant rope pack - thanks
