Over the past couple of years you may have seen some mention of the Ocean Play Pico, rather than the Laser Pico.
The Laser Pico is a very well respected sailing dinghy which has been popular with sailing centres, sailing clubs and with individuals all over the World - it's the perfect base for experiencing sailing and learning.
In 2002 the rights for Laser Performance to sell the Pico dinghy ran out from builder Jo Richards. At this time Jo searched for a new builder for the Pico, Bug, Vago and Bahia - boats which have been built by Laser Performance since their initial design.
RS Marine Group agreed to be the new builder of the boats and started a new company called Ocean Play as a new brand for the sailing dinghies and their parts.
This is where the Ocean Play Pico has come from with the removal of the Laser Pico.
The Pico has the following sail sizes and comes with a normal main sail as standard.
There are only two small differences between the original Laser Pico and the newer Ocean Play Pico:
Apart from that you'll get exactly the same boat, with the same parts, from the same original sources.
We also offer the Pico boat package which includes a long lasting PVC cover and steel launching trolley.

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
Product exactly what I wanted
