For many the middle of summer is the time to try something new. For those wanting to try trapezing it's an ideal time because if it all goes wrong the water is warmer and the sunshine will help the situation. It's also the time when other sailors are out on their boats in mass and you're likely to be able to grab a ride.
If you are looking for a new trapeze harness then this article will hopefully help you gain the key facts about the current harnesses we have in stock.
Our number one recommendation would be to borrow someones and try it, some harnesses can be uncomfortable and the last thing you want to do is end up with something sitting in the corner which can't be worn. For anyone at our club who comes and asks us about trapeze harnesses we straight away lend them one of ours to try on the water. Even if you don't like that specific harness it gives you a good idea of the type you might like.
Currently Sailing Chandlery stock trapeze harnesses from Magic Marine and Zhik. You can see all of the options on our trapeze harness page. They range from £129.99 through to £219.00 and have many different features.
Half harnesses are popular with windsurfers and also catamaran sailors. They allow flexibility and have no shoulder straps. They allow more movement in the top of your body and give you less bulk at the top.
The harness is available in sizes Small through to Extra Large.

This trapeze harness from is for men and women. Magic Marine have given the Wing trapeze harness a nappy harness design.
The harness is made from ripstop nylon polyester with fibre glass battens in the back area and a reinforced kevlar seat.
This makes it strong and long lasting.
The harness is available in sizes Medium through to Extra Large from Sailing Chandlery currently, we can source other sizes on demand.

Again this Magic Marine Pro Racing trapeze harness is for men and women. It is made from ripstop nylon polyester but has the addition of comfortable neoprene leg straps and a reinforced kevlar seat. This is ideal for protection when you're sliding around the boat or jumping in and out onto the wire.
It features a stainless steel spreader bar which runs across the front to spread the weight for your comfort. The spreader bar comes complete with a quick release hook mechanism so you can get untangled if you need to. You simply pull one tag and the hook falls away from the harness.

The Zhik T2 Trapeze Harness is one of the most popular among performance sailors and features a unique velcro adjustment system not seen anywhere else. This allows flexibility and adjustment to the mm while also providing excellent support for you, the sailor.
The material around the crotch stretches and padded shoulders give amazing comfort. By being a nappy style and the velcro system this means you have one strap to tighten up the height, that strap can easily be tucked away so you don't have excess straps while sailing.
I have to say, we sail Tornado catamarans and this is our choice, it's so comfortable and lasts forever. Mine is now on year 8 and has seen some hard racing with long tough events and it's still going strong.
Price - £199.00 (RRP is higher)

Nearly 40 years on from my first "Laser" I have just taken delivery of my second - a Devoti Ilca 7. Buying this new ILCA has been a 5 star experience, and dealing with Andrew, Jason and Steve at Sailing Chandlery have all been great - candid advice, all the help and assistance I could have wished for. And to cap it all Steve delivered the new Devoti to my home address - 5 hours away, and up in the hills, not easy to get to - and what's more Steve then stayed to help me sort out the rigging - all very different from what I remember. When I last sailed a Laser you had to lean on the boom to put on more kicker. I'm very happy to give the team at Sailing Chandlery a fulsome recommendation.
quick and easy to deal with prompt delivery on order will use again
We ordered a 100m reel of sheet rope for our sailing club's training fleet of Toppers and Fevas. It runs through the blocks very easily and is great to hold. The children on the courses love it!
Great little piece of kit, use it for giving me an idea of wind direction in the marina on my narrowboat!!
Great harness, really comfortable, looks to be good quality and well made.
Great service from Sailing Chandlery.
Delivery was super quick after bank holiday, and product is just as described. Super convenient pockets inside a comfy backpack kitbag so great and practical for walking to/from dinghy parks
Just a small item, a bung! The super quick delivery got me back on the water. Thank you.
Good rope for low load jobs - easy to splice, smooth and flexible.
Perfectly layed out numbers
WIP have really pulled out all the stops on this impact vest to suit all forms of hi-performance watersports. Feels great on, good snug fit - no restrictions to movement and doesn't impact on trapezing like a lot of buoyancy aids. A very well made, high quality vest that has everything you need to keep you safe on the water.
Purchased for my old Albacore sailing dinghy. This is a well made quality cover with straps and clips that look like they’ll last many years. I no longer have to bail out the boat before sailing!
Found the staff at Sailing Chandlery most helpful to a no-yachtsman with flags to fly to cheer the day.
It may seem strange but my husband purchased this item as he was making me some wooden bunting for our outside space. The range of colours was fab and the rope is ideal for our needs.
