Ever wondered what others are buying for their sailing? Here's a summary of 5 items that were very popular in 2021. You can also take a look at our most popular items.
The Zhik 270 Boots are the most versatile and popular boots we sell. The boots are designed to be thick enough for use in the winter and have the great support and grip you need for all types of sailing. The 270 boots are a big evolution from the previous 260 boots with more grip and support without extra bulk.
A new lacing enclosure on the outside of the boot increases comfort and support to the inside of your foot. Updated grip design, support and comfort allow this boot to still be one of the best on the market even 2 years on from their release.
Key Features:
Top tip: Zhik sizing can come up small this is due to the moulded sole for a close, comfortable and secure fit. Please pay attention to the size chart and detail we provide.
This Quick Release Push Button Pin for the Laser Harken Kicker is one of our top-selling laser parts. This item is one that has been used and tested by Laser 4.7 National Champion Jack Graham-Troll for a number of years now. The pin has stood the test of time on the water on Standard, Radial and 4.7 rigs without issue.
This pin is great for use all year round helps you speed up the rigging process and eliminates the need for split rings that can be difficult to get undone before and after a busy day sailing. The push pin also has a handy loop to which you can tie the pin to your mast so you don't lose it between sailing sessions.
This pin has been tested on the Harken XD kicker, we have an alternative that is for the Allen XD kicker.
The Hawk Mk2 is a wind indicator designed for small racing dinghies that gives you an accurate reference on where the wind is coming from.
It mounts to the mast with a plastic clip and elastic so it can be taken on and off easily. The elastic tie allows a snug fit on most masts from RS Tera's to Laser masts and some larger single-handed boats. The elastic tie also has some flex so if you knock the wind indicator to can flex rather than break.
The Little Hawk is one of our most popular wind indicators but we do also offer other hawks for the masthead and some catamarans.
The P3 PFD is one of the most popular Zhik products we sell along with the 270 boots. This PFD is available in a range of colours and sizes. It is designed for dingh, keelboat sailing and general on the water sports with a generously sized pocket for snacks and spares. With a highly adjustable waist strap to get the best fit for you. Non-slip lining on the inside stops the PFD from riding up when sailing and when in the water.
This PFD has been a very popular product since its introduction and the updated design in 2020 has made it even better with ISO certification and some nice design tweaks.
Sail packages have been very popular since we have added them to our website. You have all the parts you need for your new sail and save some money.
Sail packages include a sail, battens and numbers so you have all the parts you need for your new sail to give you some extra turbo on the water.
We also offer a rig package that includes the bottom mast section, sail, battens and numbers.

The Zihk Sailing kit bag is very well-made and much more practical than my rucksack. The ordering process was slick and the delivery was fast. I’m looking forward to my next sailing trip with this product. Good price too, thank you!

I recently purchased the Sprint 15 Trampoline Cover from Sailing Chandlery, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The cover is made from high-quality PVC material that feels durable and built to last, even in harsh weather conditions.
The fit on my Sprint 15 is absolutely perfect—it's snug and secure, ensuring that the trampoline stays protected from rain, sun, and dirt. The attention to detail, like reinforced edges and reliable fastenings, really sets this cover apart.
It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design, making it both functional and easy to use. The vibrant blue color adds a nice touch and is easy to spot in the boat park.
Shipping was fast, and the customer service from Sailing Chandlery was top-notch. They kept me updated throughout the process and ensured a smooth transaction.
If you're looking for a reliable cover for your Sprint 15, I highly recommend this product. It's a fantastic investment to keep your boat in great shape!
The Topper rope pack arrived shortly after I ordered it. Very good service from Sailing Chandlery. I will fit it when I get home.
The sail numbers were simple to attach
Great value for money and swiftly delivered as always by Sailing Chandlery.
Very good sunglasses, I’ve just had eye surgery and was struggling with peripheral light sensitivity, these are great for that and will be terrific next season sailing.
Great to see these available again, much better quality and sensitivity than the alternatives
We have just purchased the Mersea twin Laser box trailer. Ordering the trailer, and adding the lid afterwards, was easy and straightforward with accurate lead times for its delivery. We paid for delivery to the South Coast and the trailer arrived bang on time along with other items we ordered. Fantastic customer service all round!
The trailer had its first trip this weekend, a 3hr drive on a mixture of town, country and motorway roads and it was a dream to tow - no noise save the odd rattle across potholes, easy to see in the car mirrors and very easy to connect and pull. It's also easy to manoeuvre two by just two people.
Our junior sailor was delighted by capacious box section with two access points and he was able to stow all of his kit to travel and then all covers, bags and kit whilst on the water today.
We're very pleased with the trailer - thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Good quality splicing tool, sensible price and swiftly delivered. Thank you
The mast was delivered the next day what a excellent delivery service I had the mast by 0830 I now know I can count on you, well done.
