Upgrade your Laser!

Upgrade you Laser with the latest parts or just replace worn out ones.  We have a vast range of control line systems, mainsheets, ropes, blocks and many spares and innovative solutions for your Laser.  Here are just a few ideas....

Probably the most significant recent development is that the worlds top sailors are upgrading their kicker/vang systems with new top block assemblies which improve the ease of use.  These new assemblies using blocks from Harken, Allen and Ronstan are in stock for immediate despatch. Find out more about these top block assemblies by looking at the chart that we have just put together that compares the main factors for each block......

Sails and Sail Service

We have a very limited stock of class legal sails available for immediate despatch (subject to still being available).  Due to supply issues in Europe we are unable to obtain any more 4.7 sails and radial sails so when our stock is sold we will unfortunately not be able to provide more 4.7 and radial sails for the forseeable future.  We will update our website to reflect current stock, and apologies if we sell out before you order.  Plus we have numbers, country codes and our sail service (where we can attach numbers and country codes with the same meticulous attention to details as our world class control systems).

Which Secondary Line to Use?

We frequently get asked which secondary control line we recommend.  There isn't a simple answer to that question so we have written the following article to help explain …......

Re-Roping Service

Ropes do wear out and well before the blocks do!  So, if your control line system needs re-roping we can provide replacement control lines, primary lines etc for you to fit.  Alternatively, if you want us to totally re-rope your system we are happy to splice on new control lines for you at very good prices.  Just get in contact with us.  Typical turn-around time is just a couple of days.

Southeast Sailboats 'Away Dates'

Southeast Sailboats competes at events in the UK and in Europe, plus some training slots through the winter.  As a result, occasionally the 'away sailing' banner is put up on the website.  My next event is the Caribbean midwinter regatta in Cabarete where I will be trying to finish one place higher than last year!  We will be closed for 8 days from Monday 13th to Tuesday 21st January.

Express International Shipping via UPS

In addition to our normal and tracked postal services, we have added express shipping using UPS to our wide range of international shipping options. Flat pricing for UPS express shipping is £16.95 to mainland Europe and the Republic of Ireland, and £26.95 to the US and Canada.  Delivery is typically 2-4 days.  Pricing is fixed irrespective of parcel size/weight but please note that it excludes really large items such as spars and foils.  For other countries please contact us for an instant quote. All our international shipping options which start at just £4.00 are listed on the website (link below).

Our 'most read' articles

Two of our 'most read' articles relate to digital compasses..  The first article, written by Team GBR Laser sailor Michael Beckett gives an excellent insight into using a compass for the first time.  The second article compares all three of the ILCA Rule 22 approved compasses so that you see which is best for you.

From custom systems to all the bits to build your own….plus our rigging and re-rigging services

Whether you want a ready-to-fit customised system, pre-spliced assemblies or just the blocks and rope to make your own we have it. 

We also offer a full rigging service, recognising you may already have blocks and rope.  For some customers we have taken the ‘bag of bits’ that that come with a new Laser and transformed them into ready-to-fit systems.  Finally, even the best ropes wear out long before the blocks, so we offer a re-rigging service to replace those tired ropes. Contact us if you are interested in any of these services!
