Summer Sailing Clothing

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! 

MID-SEASON MAINTENANCE MATTERS

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.

PRODUCT of the month

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?

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. 

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT

When Adrian couldn't source a replacement rope for his Kite Bar, he turned to us for a custom solution:

"The original spare part was only available in the usa and was expensive! I messaged the sailing chandlery team and they made a custom rope to the same, if not better, standard - and it was sent out the same day"

- Adrian
