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.

I recently purchased the Sprint 15 Trampoline Cover from Sailing Chandlery, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The cover is made from high-quality PVC material that feels durable and built to last, even in harsh weather conditions.
The fit on my Sprint 15 is absolutely perfect—it's snug and secure, ensuring that the trampoline stays protected from rain, sun, and dirt. The attention to detail, like reinforced edges and reliable fastenings, really sets this cover apart.
It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design, making it both functional and easy to use. The vibrant blue color adds a nice touch and is easy to spot in the boat park.
Shipping was fast, and the customer service from Sailing Chandlery was top-notch. They kept me updated throughout the process and ensured a smooth transaction.
If you're looking for a reliable cover for your Sprint 15, I highly recommend this product. It's a fantastic investment to keep your boat in great shape!
The Topper rope pack arrived shortly after I ordered it. Very good service from Sailing Chandlery. I will fit it when I get home.
The sail numbers were simple to attach
Great value for money and swiftly delivered as always by Sailing Chandlery.
Very good sunglasses, I’ve just had eye surgery and was struggling with peripheral light sensitivity, these are great for that and will be terrific next season sailing.
Great to see these available again, much better quality and sensitivity than the alternatives
We have just purchased the Mersea twin Laser box trailer. Ordering the trailer, and adding the lid afterwards, was easy and straightforward with accurate lead times for its delivery. We paid for delivery to the South Coast and the trailer arrived bang on time along with other items we ordered. Fantastic customer service all round!
The trailer had its first trip this weekend, a 3hr drive on a mixture of town, country and motorway roads and it was a dream to tow - no noise save the odd rattle across potholes, easy to see in the car mirrors and very easy to connect and pull. It's also easy to manoeuvre two by just two people.
Our junior sailor was delighted by capacious box section with two access points and he was able to stow all of his kit to travel and then all covers, bags and kit whilst on the water today.
We're very pleased with the trailer - thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Good quality splicing tool, sensible price and swiftly delivered. Thank you
