The beauty of the Laser sailing dinghy is that with a few different items you can convert the same hull from the smaller 4.7 rig, to a radial and then into the larger standard rig.
This conversion is completed by swapping out mast sections and sails to get to your ideal Laser rig for the conditions, your weight or your stage of sailing experience.
The Laser top mast is the consistent part of the mast which you keep when you use all three of the Laser rigs.
There are two versions of the Laser top mast, the traditional aluminium version and then the newer, updated and longer lasting carbon top section.
With the Laser bottom mast there are three options, all made from aluminium and this is what adjusts the mast height allowing for the 4.7, radial and standard rigs to be used on your Laser dinghy.
The standard and radial bottom sections are straight metal sections where the 4.7 has a slight bend in the section.
All of these sections fit into the mast base hole on the desk and the top section slots into these to make a complete Laser mast.
You can view all of our available Laser masts on our dedicated collection page.
Unfortunately with the length of the mast sections they can be expensive to ship to you. Why not look out for which events we'll be at next or if you're local to Essex why not collect from us at a convenient time?
If you've got any questions about any of the Laser masts and spars mentioned in this article, or about anything else Laser related then give us a call, we are always happy to talk you through the options.
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.
