Over the past few years the Laser Pico kicker system, also known as a vang system has been upgraded and it now includes more advanced blocks which give you a little more purchase in the system.
In this article we are going to run through the set up of the kickers system step by step guide.
Included within the system is:
The whole complete kit can be purchased through our website and is called the Laser Pico Race Vang/Kicker.
Here are the steps to rig your Laser Pico kicker system. Where we say front or back this means the front or back of the boat.
Unpack all of the parts from the packaging, you should have five items in total.
You might find it easier to secure the base unit at the bottom and attach one of the 30mm blocks using the shackle to the underside of the boom.
Take the base unit and tie the shorter piece of rope to the metal eye on top of the cleat using a bowline.
Run the rope up through one of the 30mm blocks going back to front. Then tie the end of the rope to the shackle on the other 30mm block using a bowline.
Take the longer piece of rope, thread it through the centre of the second 30mm block underneath the Selden branding and tie a bowline.
Take the rope down towards the base unit and thread it through the smaller block on the top of the base unit going from front to back.
Take the rope back up and thread it through the second 30mm block from back to front.
Now feed the rope back down towards the base unit and go through the larger pulley from front of the boat to back of the boat and out through the cleat and fairlead.
Tie a figure of 8 knot in the end of the rope.
If you have any questions, or if you get stuck at any point please feel free to get in touch. Our team have years of experience of supplying Laser Pico parts and also brand new Laser Picos.
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.
