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.

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
Product exactly what I wanted
