At the 2018 Laser Nationals we supplied and fitted a Velocitek Prism compass and deck bracket to the Laser of Arthur Farley. We also took along a TackTick electronic compass to show Arthur so he was clear on the features of both items and how they could help improve his sailing.
He's very kindly supplied the below product review. Arthur Farley is the 2018 UK Laser Radial Under 16 National champion and had recently returned from a tour of Europe sailing his Laser.
Having used globe compasses' for a while I have watched with interest as the new digital race legal compasses have been released. Finding them fairly complicated and with lots of things on them as a Laser sailor I did not feel I needed.
My concern was in hearing that certain lenses where unable to read the display. The antiglare on the Velocitek compass is an invaluable addition allowing me to clearly read the large numbers on the display.
This is my first electronic compass, I was looking for a compass that was simple, easy to see (especially with polaroid sunglasses), lightweight and looked great on the boat of course.
The Velocitek Prism compass fulfils all of my needs and I think it is the best compass for a Laser sailors out there currently. Other compasses such as the Raymarine Micro Compass (Tacktick) have a timer and I believe that you don’t need it as i already have a watch on the boat. The Velocitek is also lighter and is much easier to see than the other compasses even when you are fully hiked out or when you are sat in the boat.
I think it an amazing compass and was a large help for me in winning my first National title in Plymouth this summer.

I was very pleased to find this top in stock here. Rooster had sold out. But Sailing Chandlery still had stock. Arrived promptly.
Nice feel and robust rope with little stretch and easily cleats. Remarkable quality at price.
Easy to order, quick delivery good products
Nice and good quality wetsuit
Excellent customer service. The size I first ordered was too small and the team at Sailing Chandlery could not have been more helpful, quick to respond, and professional.
brilliant I have had this jacket before and know it's waterproof and excellent designed well worth the money. Recommend the jacket to any
Needing something warmer for the on coming autumn I decided yo invest in some Zhik SuperWarm Hikers. The video from Sailing Chandlery was great so I knew exactly what I was getting and really helped with the selection process. I've worn the hikers once so far and they're a great fit, I went for large and I'm 5' 10 and a medium build, I haven't trimmed the legs down yet but could probably take an inch or 2 off. I was impressed at how hard waring the leg material feels and the hiking pads feel super supportive and I can't wait to give them a proper testing! Delivery was impressive as ever and only took a couple of days.
I bought this item for under deck Genoa sheeting as a replacement for worn blocks. Only just fitted but run smoothly and same size as previous blocks.
Seem like a really great company who sell genuinely great products
Need to swap my daughter tiller extension as she had a new tiller and had a different bottom fixing. Easy to order and very quick to send out
Clear and prompt turnaround of my order. Very efficient and done with a smile
Great quality visor with subtle branding. Sort lining to forehead band makes it comfortable to use, and it's adjustable so you can get the perfect fit. Great addition to my summer kit.
Really warm suit which is super lightweight and drys really quickly. This is a brilliant addition to my winter kit as drying off heavier winter wetsuits in a UK climate is not easy. Really comfortable fit and looks well reinforced in the key areas, can't comment on longevity yet as only just started using it but so far v impressed
Great product and only needs a small amount. Delivered as promised.

Excellent product for my shooting flags so I can see how the windage is.
