Shockcord is used on every single sailing dinghy or catamaran. Whether that be for holding your centreboard up or down to your toe straps up in the air, and a take-up system for your control lines and trapeze line.
Standard Shockcord (Elastic or Bungee) is made up of a braided polyester cover. This is very good for general applications around your boat. When you want the shockcord to be most effective with a purchase or take-up system this can have some issues with the shockcord breaking and chaffing.
Dyneema Shockcord has a braided Dyneema cover that is made from SK75 Dyneema. The Dyneema cover makes the outer jacket more durable and UV resistant and lower friction over standard shockcord making the shockcord and systems run better for longer.
Standard Shockcord gets to a point where it snaps due to only stretching close to the point of use. Dyneema shockcord spreads the load over a larger surface area. This is especially good for trapeze take-up systems. The combination between lower friction and a large area of stretch over the system lowers the chance of breakage and the need to replace it as often.
Dyneema Shockcord is available in 4mm and 5mm
Perfect for the job!
These were recommended to put on over my Gill dry suit.
Bought a size bigger. We’re a bit tight but getting better, easy to pull on and off with the heel tab. Good soles and grip well on my board. My feet are so much warmer so I can go out most of the year.
Rope offcut easily ordered, as described, and prompt delivery. Good service all round
Delivered very promptly and well packaged, worth the shipping charge to not have to fetch it. Haven't sailed with it yet but have rigged it with the outhaul fittings and everything seems fine.
It is a good buoyancy-aid it has a nice size pocket and is really comfortable to wear. They also have fast delivery and great customer support thanks Jason.
I bought these hoping they be ok as prizes for our Topper Traveller, but was concerned they wouldn’t be robust given the price (in which case the 3 sailors in the family would get them).
I was happy when they arrived. They are more robust than I thought, and super lightweight, but with a grippy palm part. They’ll be great for use in the summer on their own (lighter than neoprene) but robust enough to protect hands, but also good enough to be used as a base layer in the winter.
Happy that we were able to use as prizes.,
It’s stretchy and can tie in knots.
Does the job
It’s blue, has an open bit at the top and holds stuff. Yet to try the dry feature.
Great service, quick turn around for the job.
nice neat job when it arrived. Would not hesitate to recommend to further members at our club. Well done 10 out of 10
I mistakenly ordered the wrong quick release pin for my Laser vang. Sailing Chandlery very kindly agreed to replace for the one I needed. Swapped out very quickly with no fuss.
Just brilliant, exactly what I needed and good quality. Fits perfectly. Fast delivery and usual great service.
Thank you, highly recommended
I use this tape to repair waterproof jackets and it is as strong and waterproof as many other alternatives and much cheaper :)
This cover fits easily over the boat with masts and boom placed on a set of spar holders. There is a neat velco opening to bring out a bowline to secure to the trolley.
A new innovation surprise is having clips on both sides of the cover. You can unclip from whichever side you are on.
Sailing Chandlery have listened to feedback from a previous purchase of the older design. Remains to be seen how it weathers, how breathable and water-proof it all is, but looking v smart from new.
Probably the most comfortable visor I’ve worn. I put it to the test in Dubai last week, it never budged, and wasn’t too tight or hot. The little clip gives added reassurance that you won’t loose it. I’m very pleased with the purchase.
