Recent rule changes in 2018 to the Laser class included changes to the hiking strap adjustment system.
ILCA stated“The hiking strap supporting line, between the aft end of the hiking strap and the eye straps on the aft face of the cockpit, may be rigged in any manner so that the hiking strap is fixed or adjustable and may include one cleat; one ring, thimble, or shackle; or both to allow for the addition of one cleat and one turning point in the hiking strap support line that are not attached to the hull or the hiking strap”
Adjustable toe strap systems for the Laser sailboat using rope and friction were always a compromise to fit the rules, but with the Clamcleat Aero Cleat supplied by Sailing Chandlery, you can have a system with secure adjustment and a real positive feel.
Introduce a Clamcleat Aero Cleat (CL828-68) into your adjustable toe strap line and you have an extremely effective solution, giving a real feeling of security and confidence. It provides a strong foot hold with consistent settings when cleated and no drop in performance or wear. It is quick and simple to setup and is easily adjustable from both sides of the boat when sailing.
It is the first adjustable toe strap system for the Laser that actually works, allowing me to hike out to the max!

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.
