Why We Love the Laser Bug

Here at Sailing Chandlery we are big fans of the Laser Bug sailing dinghy.

My kids have one that they love sailing in, although we are in the boat with them at the moment when they do take the helm they find it easy to steer and comfortable. At the time of writing they are 5 and 4 but we've had it for a year and had lots of successful sailing trips last year.

The Bug comes in a two different versions:

It's the same platform for both but the Bug Race comes with a different top mast and sail with battens. This provides an extra level of performance on the already fantastic standard Bug.

What we love about the Bug

  • It's a stable platform
  • It's bullet proof with a hard wearing hull and aluminium board and rudder
  • It's easy to sail
  • The boat can be set up in 5 minutes
  • Self bailing cockpit
  • High boom
  • The 'wheelbarrow' launching option which means you don't need a trolley, you simply fit the handles to the back and add the integrated wheel
  • The hull shape cuts through the water
  • Enough power to get through the tide
  • Can fit 2 kids and 1 adult in

Cracking set of gloves

Ideal for my boy , love using them in the cold months in his topper

Darren Wills PR Marine Electronics
Zhik Tactical Sailing Glove - Pack of 3
Perfect sailing gloves, and brilliant value

I bought these for my son who is sailing a lot at the weekends with his Sea Cadets Unit. Before he got these gloves his hands were getting very red and sore. He loves his new gloves, not only do they protect his hands from sores, but they have excellent grip and make handling the boat much easier for him.

Zhik 360 sailing boots

These are rugged boots that last much longer than those from other manufacturers and are well worth the additional cost. Sailing Chandlery’s service was excellent - as usual!

Prompt delivery good price.

Bought to replace Rooster and looks like the edges might not fray as quickly. Grip level is good yet to check how it feels barefooted

Life saving service

Great speedy service for this top of the range ZHIK PFD, meant that I could go sailing the upcoming weekend. Sailing was a joy and noticeable how good the PFD was, looking forward to using in more throughout the winter.

Not an easy fit for Bramber trolleys

Didn't fit my Bramber laser trolley without removing the internal bush shoulders and still no room for the nylon washers. also the Lynch pain didn't fit either.
