We started our company in 2012 focussing on one thing, rope. That's why we originally called ourselves Dinghy Rope. We moved to Sailing Chandlery in February 2018.
Since 2012 we've served tens of thousands of customers with a variety of marine and sailing rope, mostly for boats, but sometimes for a new washing line, or that odd DIY job.
The business has also evolved a lot, I sometimes think back to the 5 or 6 reels of Marlow rope we started with and how we now have warehouses full of everything from split pins to full boats available to buy.
However, it's important to note that we still very much focus on ropes and getting you the right product for your boat. We also now offer rope splicing, tapering and other custom work which you might not like to do yourself.
We have over 100 different reels of rope in stock and are still expanding based on demand.
Currently we stock rope by Kingfisher, Gottifredi Maffioli and Marlow. We're also soon to add FSE Robline as feedback from Laser sailors shows the majority of boats are using their ropes for control lines and mainsheets.
In terms of material we stock Dyneema, Polyester, Nylon and Polyprop ropes.
Currently, from the shelf we can supply 1mm through to 12mm. However, every week we source larger ropes for our customers and are always happy to do so.
We naturally sell lots of marine and boat rope every week, the reels are constantly turning with customer orders.
We find the most popular brands are Kingfisher, Maffioli and then Marlow.
Most popular diameter - 4mm rope
Most popular material - polyester rope
Whether you've got a braid on braid halyard which needs copying as a replacement, or whether you need a custom set up on your dinghy we can help!
If you have the lengths and a drawing it makes it a bit easier for us, or we can take your existing product and make a copy.

Amazing service, the staff got our order in with no issue and quick delivery. The replica mast are a perfect alternative.
Excellent service. Arrived very quickly. Highly recommend, have used Sailing Chandlery several times - always quick and efficient.
I have the 270 boots 2020, But these 170 boots are great, much easier to get on and off and very grippy and comfortable
Great range of products, very efficient service, item arrived well packed and on time
Really strong, does what it needs to!
Great product, does the job for a good price
Perfect product at good price and fast delivery. Thank you.
Best spring/summer hiking wetsuit.
As per usual the Sailing Chandlery team got these to me in a flash! Amazing service!!!
I have previously used the Superwarm version of this hiker and it was brilliant!
I purchased these as I get far too hot in my winter hikers during the sweaty summer months!
Only used once so far, but were warm enough in 15 degrees C and worked exactly as expected!
Good size handle, comfortable grip. I find I have to go down a size in needle than that advised for the rope I’m splicing.
Fantastic service and reasonable prices
Excellent service product delivered very quickly and exactly the item I required.
These were fine. But what was an issue was the number of emails I received after.
This is my most used item in my sailing bag. Keeps me warm on colder days underneath layers and I also wear it on top in the summer. The fleece lining inside is very comfortable.
These are brilliant socks. I tuck them inside my Superwarm wetsuit and because the seems are sealed it stops any water getting to my feet.
Small and springy - exactly what I needed !
But usual great service from Sailing Chandlery !!
