Summer Sailing Clothing

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. 

KIT CHECK

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. 

THINKING ABOUT A GEAR UPGRADE?

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. 

RELOAD YOUR SAILING ESSENTIALS

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. 

PRODUCT of the month

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.

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT

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.

"After going 'round the houses' with my local chandlery, including me finding the selden part number, I found sailing chandlery who were able to source it in just a couple of weeks and ship it to scotland, well in time for rigging and launching in the upcoming season"
