Why I Started Sailing Chandlery

Hello everyone, my name is Andrew and I founded Sailing Chandlery back in 2012. We started being called Dinghy Rope but evolved into a company name which better suited what we did.

I founded the business for one reason, we used to go sailing on a Sunday break something and order replacements online for them not to turn up in time for next weeks racing - for me this is unforgivable.

Here at Sailing Chandlery we do a number of things to provide the service we think you deserve:

  • We ship your items quickly - order before midday and we'll get your order out the same day providing the product doesn't have a lead time.
  • We use fast postal services and have options for you to upgrade to other options
  • We show you accurate stock levels
  • We provide you with helpful advice based on our experience of using the products

All of this leads to us being a 5 star customer rated business.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with the team, you can call on 01268 222912 or email info@sailingchandlery.com
