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.

Ordered and it arrived within 2 days.. Superb personalised service. Would highly recommend this website. Thank you.
Super service, dispatched next day and arrived in time... Fantastic service.
These blocks are a nice balance between quality and weight - I needed something light for jib sheet clew blocks as I didn’t want too much weight hanging on the corner, and it needed to run smoothly (and stay running smoothly) - these fit bill nicely. The sheave is also more protected than other blocks where the edges can get chewed up where they hit the mast.
