With the demise of the Laser and introduction of the ILCA came a whole host of new boat builders, one of those being Devoti.
Sailing Chandlery are proud to be a UK Devoti dealer for the ILCA, supplying boats all over the country.
To any sailor who admires quality boats that perform Devoti should not be new name. Founded by Luca Devoti, an Olympic medallist himself, the business has built the best Finns on the market for years which have been used by lots of top sailors including Ben Ainslie. They have won a number of World Championships and have performed very well on the Olympic circuit, both at events and the games.
To speak to the quality of Devoti, this weekend there was a Devoti Finn on the stand opposite us at the RYA Dinghy & Watersports show. With a quick look over this boat you could see that it wasn’t brand new – a closer look showed stickers from both the Rio Olympics and Tokyo Olympics – name another boat builder who can make boats which can still be competitive after 4 years on an Olympic circuit, arguably the last was Marstrom in their creation of the Tornado catamaran.
Since being introduced as an ILCA builder the team at Devoti have been working hard to perfect their ILCA, attention to detail is key for their team and any small gain that can be made is implemented.
We feel the Devoti ILCA is technically better with a new improved hull shape that is built to perform at the highest level. The introduction of a stiffer hull and lighter decks brings excellent performance that the top ILCA sailors across the World love from Devoti.
As we’ve mentioned above Devoti are known for their quality, they put more hours into the boat at the point of build to ensure every part is perfect leading to better consistency, accuracy and quality across every Devoti ILCA they build – a key point when building one design boats.
This is the reason they are the choice of top ILCA sailors such as:
The Devoti ILCA has also been chosen as the boat for the 2023 Mens ISAF World Championships.
These Falker Burgees are essential for our training fleet, giving an instant indication of apparent wind direction.
Made of stainless steel they do not corrode, and are easy to fit into the mast bracket.
It is a shame the sail part is not available as a spare as this part does not last forever, unlike the ss frame.
Nice product.
Arrived quickly and fits very well
Fast, efficient service and the lightweight trolley is perfect for my needs.
We needed to change the size and it looks like they will change the Hikers for a size up. Thank you very much
Thank you Sailing Chandlery for delivering my new sailing watch.
An excellent product and decent value.
Service was great, delivery was quick and item was good quality.
These are excellent launching trolley wheels. Much better quality than the cheaper 'knock-off' ones on eBay! It took a couple of minutes to take off my old ones and fit these
Recently bought these as a birthday present for my dad. Order arrived super speedy (even with a treat of love hearts in it). The fit and quality is great, he really loved them
Great service
The wheels are exactly what I ordered. Delivery was immediate from the store and they arrived exactly when promised. 100% - job well done!
Excellent fast service from this company. Very good price for the Parka & free shipping. As a Motorhome & dog owner I bought the Parka to use when these activities frequently get cold & wet! I haven't had cause to use it yet. I've tried it on & it's just what I needed. It's a good long length (I'm 5ft 8") & does away with the need for waterproof trousers. Very handy zipped pockets & I like the fact that you can tighten up the wrist cuffs. I'm very pleased with my purchase & would certainly recommend Sailing Chandlery. Thank you.
Good quality product and easy to fit.
Not used yet but known it will be perfect. Excellent customer service from sailing chandlery as usual.
Great service and a great price. Order delivered in a timely manner.
Would definitely recommend and use again, the next time something on the boat inevitably breaks :)
I had a difficult repair, with a part of the sail that har ripped off. I used the tape to cover a large darn, taped it on both sides, and oversewed it for additional security. Easy to use, decent adhesion, probably no need to oversew.
