Skip the guesswork this holiday season. We've selected the essential, high-performance kit from Gill - a brand renowned for its innovative designs - guaranteed to be the perfect Gill gift for any dinghy sailor, regardless of their skill level. Read our Gill Gift Guide to discover our favourite gifts from Gill this Christmas.
Shopping for a sailor, especially one who seems to have all the gear they need, can be challenging. But every experienced sailor knows the difference between adequate kit and elite performance wear. That's where Gill Gifts come in.
Worn by professionals and relied upon by serious amateurs globally, Gill is known for their thoughtful design, innovation, and top-notch quality. Gifting a Gill product isn't just giving someone a piece of sailing clothing; it's giving them a tangible upgrade for dinghy sailors of all ages and skill levels.
This Christmas, skip the endless guesswork. We've done the hard work for you and selected a few of our favourite high-performance Gill gifts. Let's dive in:
This sailing top is the foundation of any cold-weather sailing system. It acts as a premium insulating garment, efficiently holding in body heat to maintain comfort and endurance. Its construction is tailored for flexibility, making it an ideal Gill gift, acting as a thermal mid-layer without restricting movement.
Feet are often the first to suffer from the cold. Why not grab this Gill Gift? These highly effective thermal socks feature 0.5mm titanium-lined neoprene. This thin layer is engineered to fit comfortably inside any sailing boot, using the titanium to reflect heat back to the skin for maximum insulation. An inexpensive, yet high-impact Gill gift for winter sailing.
Give the Gill gift of better control and protection. These gloves are constructed for maximum durability, shielding hands from friction and impact injuries while providing a relentless, non-slip grip on sheets and lines. The design ensures hands are protected but still articulate freely for precise manoeuvres.
A crucial Gill Gift for dinghy sailing. The Long John design offers vital thermal protection and impact cushioning for the core and legs, all while leaving the arms and shoulders completely free to execute complex boat manoeuvres and sheet handling without any problems.
Safety doesn't have to mean bulk. The Gill Pro Racer is an ISO-Certified buoyancy aid specifically engineered with a minimal, streamlined cut for competitive sailors. Its low profile ensures it stays secure and will not ride up or stop arm movements during intense hiking, making it a great Gill gift for your sailor to focus entirely on the race.
Choosing the best Gill Gift isn't a one-and-done ordeal. However, we know that getting the size or colour right can be tricky without ruining the surprise. Here are our top tips for choosing the perfect present for the sailor in your life:
Finding a meaningful Gill Gift for your dedicated sailor means you need to look beyond something run-of-the-mill, they need, or something that will stand the test of time. When you choose your sailing gear from Gill Marine, whether it's an essential thermal layer or high-performance skiff suits, for instance, you're investing in a brand trusted by those who spend countless hours on the water.
Ultimately, the best Gill gift is one that gets used constantly and makes a tangible difference. We encourage you to review the price brackets and product functions, matching the perfect Gill Gift that doesn't blow your budget. Giving a superior Gill gift is the most effective way to make sure their next day out on the water is all the more rewarding.
Still unsure? We have a HUGE range of Gill Gifts and other sailing gifts at Sailing Chandlery. With items available across all price brackets, you can easily shop by budget and explore some excellent Gill gift ideas, whether that be for a small stocking filler or a large, high-value present.
We also sell Sailing Gift Vouchers. If you're truly stuck on what colour or size to choose, a gift voucher is the best way to ensure your sailor chooses their perfect gift this Christmas. Whether you choose a Gill Gift, gifts from Zhik or any of our other Sailing Brands here at Sailing Chandlery, we've got everything you need for gifting this year all under one roof.
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
