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.
I rang to request some advice on replacement parts for my dinghy and was very impressed with the excellent advice and efficient delivery of the required parts. Many thanks
Great product, safely packaged, delivered on time, at a competitive price. One more thing - the person on the end of the phone is an actual person, informative, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. What more could you ask for.
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!
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!
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
Cover arrived after three days and is well made and completely covers the boat boom up . The straps and clips all work fine. Good product.
My local chandlery were unable to supply a white inspection hatch and so it was amatter of looking online. Sailing Chandlery had the cover I needed in stock at a good price and delivery. I had never used them before but the service I received was excellent with the delivery on time and the hatch is now fitted.
I will definitely return, especially with the discounts on offer. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Always happy with my orders from Sailing Chandlery. They are quick to post and very helpful when I have had a question.
Jason delivered the boat on time at Hayling Island Sailing Club. The boat was new and all the spars were in perfect condition. Jason came to pick up the boat and return the deposit which I gave at the time of the delivery. Every interaction with Andrew and Jason were handled very professionally. I will recommend to any sailor Sailing Chandlery in the future. I really appreciated how easy it was to charter this boat. Thank you very much. Jacques Kerrest
Prompt delivery, with helpful updates and time slot spot on. Perfect new sail at a great price and the number fixing service is well worth it. It even won its first race! Thank you.
I needed GBR letters for the ILCA Europeans and they arrived by the next post.
I made a mistake on my order and it was put right at zero cost to me ! Amazing !
I’ll certainly be back
