For many sailors the winter is a time to hang their wetsuit up and get on with the decorating at home....
Also on your list of jobs might be some tasks to get your boat ready again for the 2019 sailing season. If you're anything like me you'll make the list in October and maybe get to it by Feburary, if you're lucky - this is the year to get the jobs done early.
Over winter, here are the items we find most popular with our customers.
Got those dings and scratches to repair, if you can get the boat into a dry location then we've got the gelcoat for you.
We are also the authorised Laser dealer for the new Ice blue colour gelcoat.
A seriously messy and time consuming job, especially if you've got to get the old stuff off.
Pro Grip is popular with skiff and dinghy sailors as a way of providing more grip on your wings or hulls in important places, it can also be used for protection of the deck in critical areas.
We sell 2mm pro grip in a grey/black colour and it comes in large sheets - cut it to the size you need, grab some Thixofix and stick it onto your clean surface.
Maybe a job for the summer if you can't get the boat into a warm dry location - if you don't do this job in the right conditions then they're going to fall off again, most likely during the first race of the season.
We sell handy slot gasket packs which come in different widths and with the glue you need to complete the job.
Once you've finished the jobs above it would be rude not to give the boat a good clean and polish. We have both McLube speed polish and SpeedSix hull coat in stock, they are both perfect for giving your boat the finish it needs to repel the water and go faster.
Currently we have a huge range of Harken blocks and a selection of Allen pulleys in stock.
Any Harken dinghy part you can think of we're very likely to have it on the shelf and waiting for you. Check your springs, check your ratchets and revitalise your cleats!
Got that faded tatty old looking rope, tapers looking a bit shoddy, maybe your cleats have led to the end of your soft on the hands sheets - we've got you covered.
With over 100 reels of rope in stock we can supply you with 1 meter or a full reel for that re rope project, we also take on splicing work if you're not comfortable.
Make sure you also ask us about our rope bargain bucket, there's plenty in there at the moment and I am sure we can find you a match for your task.
You're likely to have more time in winter so why not buy some splicing tools and give yourself some practice.
We sell products from Selma, D Splicer and many more which will help you to get the best finish on your ropes.
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
Excellent service and prompt delivery.
Had the boom and mast in stock. Order processed quickly, great service and local so could pick them up. Friendly and helpful staff as always. Thank you
Delivered on time after chatting by phone to a very helpful person at Sailing chandlery. Absolutely no complaint with this Company and will continue to use them for my sailing needs.
