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.
The Zihk Sailing kit bag is very well-made and much more practical than my rucksack. The ordering process was slick and the delivery was fast. I’m looking forward to my next sailing trip with this product. Good price too, thank you!
Very high quality
Simple ordering
Good service arrived quickly and exactly as required. Thanks
Just as described and it arrived quickly. Thank you!
Quality product, fast delivery perfect
I recently purchased the Sprint 15 Trampoline Cover from Sailing Chandlery, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The cover is made from high-quality PVC material that feels durable and built to last, even in harsh weather conditions.
The fit on my Sprint 15 is absolutely perfect—it's snug and secure, ensuring that the trampoline stays protected from rain, sun, and dirt. The attention to detail, like reinforced edges and reliable fastenings, really sets this cover apart.
It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design, making it both functional and easy to use. The vibrant blue color adds a nice touch and is easy to spot in the boat park.
Shipping was fast, and the customer service from Sailing Chandlery was top-notch. They kept me updated throughout the process and ensured a smooth transaction.
If you're looking for a reliable cover for your Sprint 15, I highly recommend this product. It's a fantastic investment to keep your boat in great shape!
The Topper rope pack arrived shortly after I ordered it. Very good service from Sailing Chandlery. I will fit it when I get home.
The sail numbers were simple to attach
Great value for money and swiftly delivered as always by Sailing Chandlery.
Very good sunglasses, I’ve just had eye surgery and was struggling with peripheral light sensitivity, these are great for that and will be terrific next season sailing.
Great to see these available again, much better quality and sensitivity than the alternatives
We have just purchased the Mersea twin Laser box trailer. Ordering the trailer, and adding the lid afterwards, was easy and straightforward with accurate lead times for its delivery. We paid for delivery to the South Coast and the trailer arrived bang on time along with other items we ordered. Fantastic customer service all round!
The trailer had its first trip this weekend, a 3hr drive on a mixture of town, country and motorway roads and it was a dream to tow - no noise save the odd rattle across potholes, easy to see in the car mirrors and very easy to connect and pull. It's also easy to manoeuvre two by just two people.
Our junior sailor was delighted by capacious box section with two access points and he was able to stow all of his kit to travel and then all covers, bags and kit whilst on the water today.
We're very pleased with the trailer - thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Good quality splicing tool, sensible price and swiftly delivered. Thank you
