10 Years of Sailing Chandlery

This month marks the 10th anniversary of starting what was then Dinghy Rope.

Back in 2012 a chap called John from Middlesex bought a spool of Marlow No 4 Whipping Twine from us on Ebay which started the business with our first sale.

Originally named Dinghy Rope we rebranded to Sailing Chandlery in 2018. The new name better explained what we did and allowed for us to continue to grow our stock into other areas away from just rope. 

It all started with one order from Marlow Ropes, a few reels and some popular accessories.

Marlow Rope Reels - The Start of Dinghy Rope, now Sailing Chandlery

One Mission

There has always been one key mission behind the business which remains true today, to get your sailing kit to you quickly. I originally founded the business out of frustration for ordering items on a Sunday and them not being delivered ahead of the next weekend to go sailing. We want to see you back on the water doing what you love quickly.

Our promise to you:

  • We ship your items quickly
  • We use fast delivery services
  • We provide you with accurate stock levels
  • We provide excellent service

Over The Years

  • Over 50 sponsored sailors
  • Hundreds of sponsored events
  • 4 RYA Dinghy Shows
  • 3 Homes for the business
  • Over 50,000 orders dispatched
  • Hundreds of boats delivered
  • 2,531 5 star reviews through TrustPilot so far

Thank You

A huge thank you to the thousands of customers who have supported us to date. We take great pride in handling your orders and getting them out the door daily.

    Super service, dispatched next day and arrived in time... Fantastic service.

    Laser Vago Jib
    Good quality and light

    These blocks are a nice balance between quality and weight - I needed something light for jib sheet clew blocks as I didn’t want too much weight hanging on the corner, and it needed to run smoothly (and stay running smoothly) - these fit bill nicely. The sheave is also more protected than other blocks where the edges can get chewed up where they hit the mast.

    Great product, price and excellent service

    Used the Dyneema to make soft shackles. Spliced easily but was noticeably “tighter” when pulling through the tails than I found for similar 4mm Dyneema. Glad for the set of Fids. However I ordered the black colour and whilst it was easy to mark up white Dyneema for planning the splices I couldn’t see the pen marks I made on the black rope. I suppose I should have thought of this and got a white marker! Overall very happy.

    Great service and product

    Easy to order and promptly sent. Used the 4mm Dyneema to make soft shackles - my first attempts - found it easy to splice and it has made some useful and strong shackles.
