We often get asked why we have so many different types of wheels. The main reason is every club and centre, along with their members, have a different challenge when launching their boat. Whether that be a concrete slipway or a rocky beach, different wheels work better on different surfaces.
Will these fit my boat?
Most dinghy trolleys have a 1 inch/ 25mm axle, which is the standard size that trolleys come with. We also have the dimensions of the wheel on the product pages if you would like to measure and check if they will fit.
More Trolley and Trailer Parts
These are the most affordable and most commonly seen wheel around the dinghy park. The Pneumatic wheel we stock is constructed from 4 ply rubber compound that is more resistant to wear and will last a lot longer than the cheaper 2-ply wheels found on eBay. The 2-ply version will crack and perish very quickly. Don't get caught out with poor-quality wheels as you will pay more in the long run and potentially be stranded.
The Starco Puncture Proof wheels are a relatively new wheel. The wheels are constructed from plastic inner and foam tyre, making them lighter than inflatable wheels. The hard-wearing foam is great for wooden jetties or smooth slipways. However, on rough surfaces, these will struggle as they are solid and have no movement in the side of the tyre.
The Wide trolley wheels are custom wheels made for sailing trolleys. The standard trolley wheel centre with an ATV Tyre makes a great wheel for heavier boats and sandy beaches with a larger surface area they do not sink into the sand.
This is just a very quick overview of the wheels we sell. If you have additional questions please get in touch, our team are always happy to help.
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’ll certainly be back
