PFDS or Buoyancy aids are a vital part of being safe on the water. PFDS are designed to assist you in floating. Not to be confused with lifejackets that are life saving devices.
PFDS can come in a range of variations of colours shapes and sizes to make sure you find the one that fits what you are doing on the water.
The Gill pro racer buoyancy aid is a great example of the range of colours you can get PFDS in so you can stand out on the water. The Pro racer Buoyancy aid comes in orange or black with a generously sized pocket on the front for snacks and spares. This PFD is highly adjustable with padded shoulder straps and side straps around the zipped enclosure.
Key Features
The P2 PFD is one of Zhik's most advanced PFDS.
An ultra-light and slim buoyancy aid that is designed to sit close to your body. The ergonomic fit and unique panels allow great freedom of movement and flexibility. The thinner profile allows more flexibility across your back making getting under your boom easier. Mesh lining is designed to increase airflow through the buoyancy aid and non slip grip patches to stop the PFD from riding up if you enter the water.
The Zhik P3 is one of the most popular PFD we sell its range of colours and tried and tested design is very popular and loved by many. Zhik leads the way with innovation and ideas the simplest and smallest things you may not think about like the orientation of the zip. Reversing the zip makes it easier to be done up with one hand and can't fall undone
Key Features
The Spinlock wing is designed to provide agility and manoeuvrability. Its low profile design lowers the chance of you snagging on the boom as you move across the boat. The PFD has a side zip and velcro tab to lower the chance of the zip coming undone whilst sailing. The webbing side straps give a wide range of adjustability and internal grip eliminates the chance of it riding up when you are in the water.
Key Features
Spinlock Wing is available in Blue, Red and Black
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.
I’d not realised that my previous boom was a problem until it became rather banana shaped. The Holt replacement is just the ticket and was delivered promptly. Good value for the money.
Excellent product and prompt delivery
I bought these for summer dinghy sailing as I found my short fingered leather gloves were getting uncomfortable and I needed some protection for the tips of my fingers. I have only worn them once but was very impressed. They fitted nicely, didn’t get soggy and I didn’t notice any discomfort.
Easy to put on and adjust and fits well. I went for a larger size than the size chart suggested as I was the top end of the medium measurement with a wetsuit and spray top on adding a bit extra. The only thing that I feel lets it down is the packing it comes in, I would have liked something like the breathable bag the Rooster buoyancy aids come in.
Mast tape was delivered promptly, and whilst it does not look like much, it works brilliantly on my older Laser with significant wear on both the mast and hull
Had the boom and mast in stock. Order processed quickly, great service and local so could pick them up. Friendly and helpful staff as always. Thank you
