None of us quite know what's going to happen over the next few weeks, do we believe the media, is it as bad as they portray - who knows! What we do know is we need to all work together to make the best of a bad situation.
Obviously the top priority is keeping fit and healthy, and we wish our customers and friends all the best fighting COVID-19 over the next few weeks.
Here at Sailing Chandlery we like to be positive, if we are all asked to enter lock down then we should look at how we can keep ourselves busy and also expand our skills which we can put to good use when we are free again.
Our list of 5 things to do:
A great task to get the kids onto, why not let them play with some string and practice their knots - I am sure there's also a few of us adults who can't remember which way the rabbit goes around the tree.
Product Highlight - Bag of Rope Ends
We won't provide the hints and tips for this one as YouTube is full of handy resources and splicing videos. What we can provide is some rope for you to practice with and the splicing tools to help you succeed.
Some of our favourite splicing tools:
Have you seen the Zhik wetsuit repair kit, it's perfect for those little snags you might have on your sailing wetsuit.
Why not take out your sailing kit, give it a good look over and take the time to put a repair in that will last.
It's about this time of year that some of us dig the boat out the hedge and reveal a green slimy memory of a boat we put there around September or October.
Why not have a read of our tips on cleaning your boat cover and grab some fresh air at the same time.
Maybe one to keep the kids entertained, if you can trust them with the hose pipe!
Our sponsored sailors are a fantastic source of knowledge and they've written a number of articles which will provide you with useful information to improve your boat and your sailing. Here are some of the most popular articles:
I rang to request some advice on replacement parts for my dinghy and was very impressed with the excellent advice and efficient delivery of the required parts. Many thanks
Great product, safely packaged, delivered on time, at a competitive price. One more thing - the person on the end of the phone is an actual person, informative, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. What more could you ask for.
The sales team were quick responding to our questions, dispatched to us promptly, and the product is a perfect replacement for our old tiller which ended up at the bottom of a lake!
It was time for me to upgrade to a newer Ilca and it was recommended that I get a Devoti. The price was competitive and the service from Andrew and his team was fantastic. I received lots of communication and the boat was delivered to me within 2 weeks. It is really great that Sailing Chandlery take the time to set up the rigging so that you can get straight on the water. I am very pleased with my new boat and am loving sailing it. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Ordered a dyneema RSAero halyard on the Thursday. It arrived by mid day on the Friday and was used on the Saturday. Excellent product and service. Thank you
Cover arrived after three days and is well made and completely covers the boat boom up . The straps and clips all work fine. Good product.
My local chandlery were unable to supply a white inspection hatch and so it was amatter of looking online. Sailing Chandlery had the cover I needed in stock at a good price and delivery. I had never used them before but the service I received was excellent with the delivery on time and the hatch is now fitted.
I will definitely return, especially with the discounts on offer. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Always happy with my orders from Sailing Chandlery. They are quick to post and very helpful when I have had a question.
Jason delivered the boat on time at Hayling Island Sailing Club. The boat was new and all the spars were in perfect condition. Jason came to pick up the boat and return the deposit which I gave at the time of the delivery. Every interaction with Andrew and Jason were handled very professionally. I will recommend to any sailor Sailing Chandlery in the future. I really appreciated how easy it was to charter this boat. Thank you very much. Jacques Kerrest
Prompt delivery, with helpful updates and time slot spot on. Perfect new sail at a great price and the number fixing service is well worth it. It even won its first race! Thank you.
I needed GBR letters for the ILCA Europeans and they arrived by the next post.
I made a mistake on my order and it was put right at zero cost to me ! Amazing !
I’ll certainly be back
Product exactly what I wanted
