nvestment in replica equipment28/10/2022Save articleHolt Marine has invested heavily in replica Laser/ILCA equipment having seen an opportunity to help realise the dreams of club sailors who wish to improve their performance and that of their Laser/ILCA boats, but international or national events are not necessarily part of their sailing agenda.SHOW FULLSCREENHolt’s Replica Laser / ILCA Swivel Arm VangDuring the past 18 months there have been new product launches of carbon and Kevlar tiller extensions plus a carbon tiller, which, says UK sales manager Paul Hinkins, have proved very popular in the target market and beyond.“This has lifted the whole range to a new level of opportunity for Laser/ILCA sailors for them to improve their boats at a more reasonable price point,” he said.In 2022, Holt has launched its Replica Carbon Top Mast and a Replica Swivel Arm Vang.“Both new products will enhance sailors’ performance and that of their boats keeping the Laser/ILCA as a boat of choice for single handers of all ages at club level,” added Paul.SHOW FULLSCREENHolt’s Replica Carbon Top MastThe carbon/Kevlar combination has been developed to provide strength with less weight.“The bent tiller extension syndrome will become a thing of the past and composite materials generally provide greater longevity,” explained Paul.“With the launch of the Replica MK2 Standard Sail there was no doubt a stiffer top section was required to assist in the delivery of the power, to the hull, that the new sail provided.”Holt will be on stand 02.201 at METSTRADE 2022TopicsEvents & ShowsHolt MarineILCALaser
