Dinghy Rope have recently supplied 6 iCom handheld VHF radios and a charging base to a local sailing club.
The radios are going to be used to for a variety of events the sailing club host and will also help in the expansion of their RYA Training Center.
Upto now the club had been using individual radios on their own stand, quite often the chargers would get moved or a radio misplaced where it hadn't been put away in the correct location. The charging base gives a major advantage in keeping the radios in the same place while also ensuring they are fully charged when they're needed.
In this case we supplied 6 iCom IC-M73 handheld VHF radios to go into the charging base. This is the lowest spec radio which can be used in the charging base.
The radios have the following features:
Each individual VHF radio charging base is made to order by iCom where they fit the specific adpator to charge your radio of choice.
The base also has a new smart charging function. This microprocessor-controlled function automatically re-charges the battery as needed to prevent charge from being completely drained. Therefore, even if the radio happens to remain turned-on and keep receiving signals in the charger, it can constantly be re-charged with sufficient charge left for the next use.
If you would like to talk to us about supplying VHF radios and accessories then give us a call on 07793 953564 or drop us an email info@dinghy-rope.co.uk.

I had it sent to my son, who will bring it to the US with him next month, so I cant write a review until I get it!
I needed this small pin urgently for a sail training night, and it arrived in good time
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.
