Long Established Family Business Trident was established in 1983 by Dave & Jackie Gebhard as a sailmaking business, both keen dinghy sailors of the 70s, made dinghy sails as a hobby, and are still racing competitively most weekends. The business grew quickly to include the manufacture of waterproof and thermal clothing, initially designing dinghy suits and woolly bear fleeces, in the days of the yellow wellies. They also supplied the Shipyards, Oil Rigs, Fishing Industry and other commercial bus...

Traditionally the Mirror is a Gunter Rig, comprising of a short mast (wood or aluminium) and a wooden gaff. The cost of getting wooden gaffs has made them uneconomical. We therefore have discontinued this product. What to do Instead Two Piece Mast - This comprises of a lower section, which is very similar to the traditional mast and an upper upper section which slides inside the upper section. This option retains the advantages of the Gunter Rig as when the mast separated it fits inside...

Choosing a mast support Mast supports are not supplied as standard with trailers as some boats don’t need them and if they are required the mast support needs to suit the towing vehicle. The taller your vehicle the longer the mast support required to clear the vehicles roof. To find out which support you need you can measure from the top of the tow ball to the height of the vehicle, add a little for clearance taking into account there will be an angle on the mast as it sits on the transom to the ma...

Combi Trailers Aptly named, this is a Combination of a trolley and road base and sometimes referred to as a piggy back trailer.

There are options in creating your Combi trailer which is why they may not be listed as a part First you need to find the trolley that best fits your boat, we have specific trolleys for the more popular classes and...

Inflate until the tyre looks right (looking much like your car tyre does when correctly inflated) and what you are looking for is for the tyre wall to be as soft as possible to gi...

Clean the boat thoroughly and remove any loose or flaking paint and make sure the wood is in sound condition, dry & rot free. Remove any hardware from the boat that you can, the more you can remove the better...

If you’ve found this page because you are looking to make some sense of what an ILCA or Laser is or what is class legal or not then I’ll try and put your mind at rest. In 1971 the Laser dinghy was unveiled and has become the most successful dinghy in history with over 200, 000 boats around the world and to cut a long complicated story short in 2019 there was a falling out between various involved parties with the class association taking control of the class and finding new boat builders. In this ta...
