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

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.

If you need some rope for your boat then please do give us a call.
I needed GBR letters for the ILCA Europeans and they arrived by the next post.
I bought four of these blocks to deal with Control line take away Perfect.
Great product. Very good quality and price!
Quick delivery, great item
New jib sheets are good to hold, do not twist up and hold well in the cam cleats.
Really good kicker at a reasonable price, delivered well packaged up and quickly
I made a mistake on my order and it was put right at zero cost to me ! Amazing !
I’ll certainly be back
Product exactly what I wanted
Good cover, made of a thick tough material and fits the boat well. The drawstring really helps tighten it around the boat and keep the rain and dirt out! There is enough extra space under it to fit your mast and boom on a deck tidy under it. Looks great in the club berths!
Very happy with the complete set of wheels with pins & washers - all in excellent condition & arrived as scheduled. Thank you.
Works well, towing noise considerably reduced and no further damage to underside of gunwales.
These are a revelation compared to the silly key ring type pin. So easy to use making rigging that bit quicker and easier! Great service as always from Sailing Chandlery A*
Excellent service and prompt delivery.
Best on the market!
Our son broke the sheave in his ILCA traveller block. I ordered the full set, which arrived the next day - absolutely brilliant service, sensible price and a quality product
Bought these to fit to the under boom sliders on a Super Spars boom to use for the main sheet. Block is compact and fits close to the underside of the boom keeping main sheet as close to boom as possible.
Quickly delivered from Sailing Chandlery.
