Our most popular buoyancy aid.
Easy to get into with side entry zip, soft and comfortable neoprene shoulder straps, large front pocket and a gripper inside which stops the buoyancy aid riding up should you have one of those 'mis haps' on the water.
This ISO-12402-5 certified buoyancy aid comes in a cyan blue colour with all the excellent features you would expect from a PFD.
Made from 100% polyester this white sailing cap from Zhik is quick drying with a soft inner headband. Easily adjust the Zhik sailing cap at the back to get the perfect fit and comfort while on or off the water.
The brim of the cap is anti-glare to stop the light reflecting off the water and into your eyes.
This cap also comes with a hat retainer lead which you can clip to your clothing.
Inspired by water, the Rooster Aquafleece® Neck Gaiter uses a combination of Aquafleece® and Polypro™ to make this a must have watersports accessory, providing protection from the elements without compromising comfort. Its multifunction design enables it to be worn as a neck gaiter, a beanie or a balaclava.
Aquafleece® has a Polyurethane coating on the outside for water resistance, durability and flexibility combined with a fleece inner layer to keep you snug and warm - a combination that works well when wet or dry. Polypro™ is a combination of Spandex and polypropylene offering a perfect material for use around water as its has a brushed ´fleece like´ inside to provide good thermal and wicking properties, whilst it also remains remarkably dry since the polypropylene material hates water.
The Optimum Time OS series 3 watches are the market leaders for dinghy sailors across the World.
The large face on the watch allows the sailor to easily see across the boat and count down to the race start. With many functions available this sailing watch is the essential tool for any keen racer.
This Optimum Time Sailing Watch can be mounted to the boat, strapped to the boom or worn on your wrist so you can always see the race countdown.
Be prepared for any situation with the Gill marine tool featuring an integrated shackle key, webbing cutter, 8mm spanner, flathead screwdriver and handy bottle opener!
This compact Gill marine tool houses seven separate tools in one which you can connect to your belt so you can have each to hand any time you need them. The multi-purpose tool includes a serrated blade and marlin spike for rope work and emergency cutting as well as a shackle opener and others.
The tools can be revealed with one hand for quick and easy access and the innovative handle ensures good grip even with wet hands. An essential tool for safety whilst sailing.
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
