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:
quick and easy to deal with prompt delivery on order will use again
We ordered a 100m reel of sheet rope for our sailing club's training fleet of Toppers and Fevas. It runs through the blocks very easily and is great to hold. The children on the courses love it!
Great little piece of kit, use it for giving me an idea of wind direction in the marina on my narrowboat!!
Great harness, really comfortable, looks to be good quality and well made.
Great service from Sailing Chandlery.
Delivery was super quick after bank holiday, and product is just as described. Super convenient pockets inside a comfy backpack kitbag so great and practical for walking to/from dinghy parks
Just a small item, a bung! The super quick delivery got me back on the water. Thank you.
Good rope for low load jobs - easy to splice, smooth and flexible.
Perfectly layed out numbers
WIP have really pulled out all the stops on this impact vest to suit all forms of hi-performance watersports. Feels great on, good snug fit - no restrictions to movement and doesn't impact on trapezing like a lot of buoyancy aids. A very well made, high quality vest that has everything you need to keep you safe on the water.
Purchased for my old Albacore sailing dinghy. This is a well made quality cover with straps and clips that look like they’ll last many years. I no longer have to bail out the boat before sailing!
Found the staff at Sailing Chandlery most helpful to a no-yachtsman with flags to fly to cheer the day.
It may seem strange but my husband purchased this item as he was making me some wooden bunting for our outside space. The range of colours was fab and the rope is ideal for our needs.
