Use this mount on a wide varieties of dinghies, from the popular ILCA to the RS Aero and many more. The standard Vakaros bracket attaches to this mount with the provided slug and interfaces perfectly with standard control lines and deck arrangements.
We recommend VHB tape or dual-lock velcro for attachment to the deck. Adhesive tapes are not included with your order.
The ILCA sailing dinghy is the world’s most popular adult racing class boat.
True to one-design standards, each ILCA in the world is identical ensuring the best sailor on the water wins the race, not the boat. The ILCA is a challenging boat that rewards athleticism, subtle steering and trimming techniques. However, the tactical excellence of the sailor also plays a factor. The ILCA dinghy is raced by young and old alike from the Club level all the way to the Olympics.
The ILCA sailing dinghy is class-legal for all National and International events. If you would like to read more about debunking the ILCA/Laser jargon, please head to our article on the blog page.
Which rig is right for me?
Time to jump on the weighing scales! If you are new to the class, you need to have a look at the weight ranges for each rig size.
ILCA 4 (formerly Laser 4.7) weight range is 45kg -60kg
ILCA 6 (formerly Laser Radial) weight range is 60-75kg
ILCA 7 (formerly Laser Standard) weight range is 75-90kg
The ILCA comes with a Harken fit out as standard. Carbon upgrade options are available for the Top Section, Bottom Section (ILCA 6 only) and Tiller & Tiller Extension. The team at Sailingfast have worked closely with the Laser Class since 2002. We offer new and used boats, a part exchange service and a sail-numbering service. The Sailingfast mobile chandlery trailer supplies support at key regattas and sailing events.

The idea behind RS was born when a small group of sailors sat on a Cornish sea-wall and discussed the opportunity to move the game forward. It was driven forward by our passion use the latest in design and technology to make higher performance more viable for most of us – to inspire more sailors.
We just hoped that if we developed boats that we’d love to sail, then people like us would love them too. And that if we built exciting events and made a load of RS sailing friends then the other RS sailors would make new friends too.
Our core team has been together since the early days. We may spend a lot of time talking about boats, events, gossip and ideas – but it reflects who we are and what made RS special.
The RS Sailing family has grown significantly over the last decade through our dealer network around the world. Most RS dealers share our similar commitment to the sport – that’s probably how they became involved.
We’d love to be able to talk boats with you all, but you may speak another language or be on the other side of the planet – you’ll be in good hands with Sailingfast.
At Vakaros we combined the best sensors on the market with an eye-catching display to revolutionize the on-water-instrument experience. The Atlas 2 is the choice of World Champions, professional sailors, and Olympians worldwide. Join them, today.
