Summer is far from over, and there's still time to make the most of it. Whether you're fine-tuning your race kit, restocking your favourite sailing essentials, or planning for upcoming events, we've got you covered with fresh gear picks, quick maintenance advice, and a few inspiring stories from our sailing community.
Your gear's been working hard this season - now's a great time to give it a little extra attention. A few quick checks can make all the difference in performance and reliability as you head into the final stretch of summer sailing. We recommend:
Give ropes, fastenings, and hardware a once-over
Make sure your outerwear and accessories are clean, functional, and ready to race
Restock your essentials like tape, gloves, and spare parts before they catch you out
Our bold, ultra-durable 20L Sailing Chandlery Dry Bag is the ultimate summer staple. Keep your wet kit contained or protect your valuables when heading ashore - it's lightweight, waterproof and build to last.
If that worn-out block or tired jacket has been holding you back, there's no better time to invest in a gear refresh. We've got high-performance options in stock and ready for same-day dispatch if you order before midday. Or, if you prefer a hands-on look, swing by our Canvey Island showroom to pick up exactly what you need.
Now might be the time to finally grab that high-performance jacket or upgrade a key hardware component. Not sure what you need? Browse our best-in-class selections or message the team for a personal recommendation.
From ropes and fittings to gloves and fasteners, we've replenished all the key items you rely on. Stay ahead of the game by ensuring your kit bag is fully stocked and ready for every outing.
Lightweight, quick-drying, and designed to stay secure on breezy days, the Gill Marine Cap is a summer staple. Whether you're racing or enjoying a casual sail, it's the perfect finishing touch to your sailing kit.
Last month, Alan reached out while hunting for a hard-to-find Keelboat Mast Part. After a frustrating search elsewhere, we were able to source the part and ship it up to him well ahead of his rigging deadline.

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
Nice-looking bung, all in one piece. No more looking for the bung when you have let it drain from the last time, and bought this to create a second drain socket in my Solo.
They have good paddings
It fits exactly fine to laser pico. Straps are very usefull. Hole at the back helps you store your upper mast easily under the cover. Looks very durable. Delivery was very fast. Thanks
Product as described and very prompt delivery
Usual harken good stuff
Easy to find, quick dispatch, on the boat now.
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.
Fantastic price for first class quality
They work well
Fantastic product. Toasty feel
Really good selection of rope sizes, delivered speedily. Great idea to put the offcuts to good use. Caused a few laughs when people realised what I'd ordered ;-)
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!
Love the fact they don’t leak.
You do need to squeeze to get liquid out. Which is so much better. Don’t lose liquid etc.
nice size and robust
Great for when it’s not too cold. But is windy and wet. Needing to stay dry on top.
