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.
Really pleased with the cover fits perfectly. I knew when it would arrive the company kept me up to date with the process
Good service, no complaints.
Very good tool to get those very tight knots undone
I've tried a number of different types and makes of neoprene boots for Sea Kayaking and these are the best (most comfortable) fit and easiest to get on/off to of all that I have tried, Really pleased with them. The sole is not as thick as it would appear from the photos but seem to be perfectly good for the usual limited shore walking.
Fine just as expected
Good replacement
Good
Nearly 40 years on from my first "Laser" I have just taken delivery of my second - a Devoti Ilca 7. Buying this new ILCA has been a 5 star experience, and dealing with Andrew, Jason and Steve at Sailing Chandlery have all been great - candid advice, all the help and assistance I could have wished for. And to cap it all Steve delivered the new Devoti to my home address - 5 hours away, and up in the hills, not easy to get to - and what's more Steve then stayed to help me sort out the rigging - all very different from what I remember. When I last sailed a Laser you had to lean on the boom to put on more kicker. I'm very happy to give the team at Sailing Chandlery a fulsome recommendation.
quick and easy to deal with prompt delivery on order will use again
We ordered a 100m reel of sheet rope for our sailing club's training fleet of Toppers and Fevas. It runs through the blocks very easily and is great to hold. The children on the courses love it!
Great little piece of kit, use it for giving me an idea of wind direction in the marina on my narrowboat!!
Great harness, really comfortable, looks to be good quality and well made.
Great service from Sailing Chandlery.
Delivery was super quick after bank holiday, and product is just as described. Super convenient pockets inside a comfy backpack kitbag so great and practical for walking to/from dinghy parks
Just a small item, a bung! The super quick delivery got me back on the water. Thank you.
Good rope for low load jobs - easy to splice, smooth and flexible.
