Summer's in full swing, and whether you're already out cruising or gearing up for race day, now's the perfect time for a mid-season refresh. We've rounded up our favourite tips, gear, and events to help make this July unforgettable.
Inspect Your Ropes - Look for fraying, stiffness or UV damage. Replace worn lines early to avoid mid-race failures.
Rinse And Dry Your Gear - Salt buildup can degrade performance. Rinse off jackets, gloves, and PFD with fresh water and air-dry thoroughly.
Check Your Sail Stitching - Scan for loose threads, chafing or weak seams - especially near the battens and clew corners.
Lubricate Blocks And Moving Parts - Use a marine-grade lubricant to keep pulleys, tracks and shackles moving freely.
Test Zippers And Fasteners - Stuck or corroded zips can ruin a good day on the water. Clean and apply zipper lube if needed.
Organise Your Onboard Kit - Restock essentials like tape, spare shackles, and gloves. A tidy boat is a fast boat!
The hot sun and salty air are tough on your kit. Taking 10-15 minutes now to check over your ropes, sails and waterproofs could save you hassle later.
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.
You don't want to be caught short on ropes, gloves or safety kit during your next outing. Our most popular essentials are back in stick - ready for same-day dispatch if you order before midday.
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.

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.
Very easy to install. May need some additional sealing for complete water-tightness.
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!
Excellent fit for a topaz. Great service on collection.
Perfect
Love this bag. Great wet area within it as well.
Excellent to use as for a birthday gift to family members keen on sailing
Currently 2 weeks into an Eastern Mediterranean trip with these shoes. Grip is great and they drain really well. Comfort is brilliant… as long as you take the right size. I followed the measurement guidelines and they work well. Highly recommend shoe!
Quick despatch and a good quality product. Moves smoothly along the boom.
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
Reeves really easily, jams well and excellent grip
I bought the burgee and clip for a Hartley 12 and found downwind sailing much easier single handed. The clip came with the screws so it was a 10 minute job including dropping the mast. Website worked well again and the items were delivered quickly so a good job all round.
