Harken UK's David Brown shows us round some of the features of the new Harken ILCA / Laser kicker / vang system at the RYA Dinghy & Watersports Show 2026.

The ILCA kicker has come a long way from the original 3:1 purchase system, and this new kicker includes Harken Zircon blocks, Harken's most efficient, low-friction, and high-load small boat racing blocks, and various other design features to reduce friction and increase ease of use.
