Ronstan ILCA Vang/Kicker Base Unit

The New Benchmark in Design and Performance

Upgrade your ILCA with the Ronstan Lower Vang Unit, widely recognised as the new standard in design and competitive performance. Thoroughly tested on the water by leading ILCA® sailors, this base unit features an optimised geometry engineered to minimise line chafe and drastically reduce friction. This refined alignment translates directly into a distinct purchase advantage, giving you maximum power when you need to pull on the kicker in a heavy breeze.

It also ensures incredibly intuitive cleating and releasing, allowing you to stay in full control and play the vang effortlessly from any angle—whether you are tucked inboard navigating a mark rounding or fully hiked out upwind.

At the core of this system is the primary purchase sheave, which utilises Ronstan's high-load, ultra-low friction stainless steel HHL sheave. Additionally, the geometry of the cleat arm pivot point has been strategically positioned as close to the clevis pin attachment as possible. This smart design choice minimises leverage and significantly reduces the stress placed on your mast attachment point, protecting your rig from long-term fatigue.

(Note: This is an officially licensed ILCA® part, available for purchase through ILCA® approved builders and dealers.)


Key Features

  • Optimised Geometry: Eliminates line chafe and minimises friction for a noticeable purchase advantage.
  • Stainless Steel HHL Sheave: High-load primary sheave delivers smooth, low-friction performance under extreme tension.
  • Reduced Mast Stress: The pivot point is engineered close to the clevis pin to minimise leverage on the mast fitting.
  • Omni-Directional Control: The Composite C-Cleat™ and fairlead allow for fast, easy cleating and releasing from any hiking angle.
  • Rugged Construction: Features a Grade 316 stainless steel frame with a hard-wearing black coating and UV-stabilised acetal bearings.

Great shoes
Size: 10.5, Color: Dark Grey
I saw people wearing shoes like this in the office (maybe not the same brand), so I ordered a pair to see how they feel. They feel amazing. It's basically sneaker that look ok to be worn with pants and sport jacket. Fit is great, I ordered my usual size and they fit nicely. Sole is thick enough to make them comfortable, not too thick to looks like a sport sneaker. Durability seems ok, wore them couple of times, so I can't really tell, but they seems like they can last long time.

Love these shoes
Size: 9.5, Color: Grey
These shoes are soft, comfy, and easy on and off. They breathe in the summer heat and feel good on a cool evening. They run true to size and the colors are like they are represented. I recommend this brand for a good looking, inexpensive shoe.

Comfortable shoes that still look presentable
Size: 12, Color: Black
I wanted a pair of shoes that were more presentable than regular sneakers but did not feel like stiff dress shoes, and these fit that role well. They have the look of a casual oxford, but the mesh upper makes them feel much lighter and easier to wear. That makes them useful for days when I want to look a little more put-together without sacrificing comfort. They are breathable, easy to walk around in, and work well with casual outfits. The only thing I’d keep in mind is that the mesh material can take a little extra care to keep clean, but that is a reasonable tradeoff for the comfort.

Summertime Comfort
Size: 6.5, Color: Light/Brown
My husband has a small foot and the shoe was a perfect fit for him, size 6 1/2. Normally this is a difficult size to find in a shoe. He was very pleased with the color and weight of the fabric. The fabric is breathable and lightweight. The shoes are very well constructed with a nice solid heel and sole. They are a perfect summertime shoe. The shoes will go well with shorts or casual trousers.

Comfort + Style = Dream Walkers
Size: 13, Color: Dark Black
Im in awe of how comfortable these are. Took a chance on this unfamiliar brand because the price and style were just what I was looking for. They came today tried them on, they are so light and airy and the super spongey soul make them dreamy to walk on. Now let's just hope they last 🤞🏼 Thanks for making a great shoe!
