You may have heard of the Zhik Grip II (2) system, or have seen it on other sailors boats, but what is it?
The Zhik Grip II system allows the sailor to get better grip and momentum while hiking out the boat. The system allows the boots and hiking/toe strap to connect and interlock using a unique teeth system which is fitted to the underneath of the strap and the top of the sailing boot.
As a sailor you need to move across the boat quickly and with this system you can count on the strap and boots to connect at lots of different angles so you can get your weight adjusted quickly out of the turn.
Zhik make custom hiking straps for a number of boats, all made to size with the right fittings so they can easily fit to your boat.
There are two types of boot which are compatible with the Zhik Grip II system. The Zhik 360 and 560. We stock both at Sailing Chandlery and find the 360 to be more popular as they are thicker and tend to last longer.
Hiking straps are available for lots of different types of boat, at Sailing Chandlery we stock the Laser and Topper versions which we find are most popular for us. We can source others quickly on request so please do ask.

Just what we needed, bought a second hand Topper, needed new ropes, sorted..Fitting instructions could be clearer for novices.
Very speedy delivery, and the special short length is just what I ordered. Ordering couldn’t have been simpler. Excellent service.
Harken block
Bought when I changed the wheels - arrived well wrapped with the wheels and on time. Easy to fit quality product. Good service
Easy to fit and seem to be robust as a replacement for my Trolley wheels. Arrived as promised very well wrapped. Worth checking if you need new washers and clips to add to your order.
Though not cheap this control line swivel block is just the job. Well worth the money imho.

Quality material and design enables my lug sail to be stowed securely on it's spars
Great wide and grippy tyres for a shingle/sharp launching area and compound for an RS400.
Receive fantastic service couldn’t help any more if they tried. Arranged for me to collect my order at a time that suited even when it was outside of working hours. Much appreciated, thank you sailing Chandlery.
Excellent gloves, perhaps the best I have used. The fingers are long enough to provide protection from sheets/halyards and fit nicely so that ropes cannot get between the glove and finger. If the winter gloves are any guide they should also be very durable.
