Okay, we've done it, we've said the big C word in October, it seems too early to me but we do see customers asking us about Christmas presents and starting their shopping in October.
In this article we are going to have a look at our range of sailing gifts we have available and our top 5 recommended sailing gifts your sailor will love.
We are biased because we created them but our number one sailing gift would be a Sailing Chandlery mug. Printed on a quality mug are a number of popular sailing phrases which will make your sailor laugh or think of a recent sailing situation that relates.
Mugs available:
A useful tool for any sailor, we have a good selection of sailing knives available including our most popular floating knife.
Available from Magic Marine and Zhik we have a fantastic range of short sleeve and long sleeve rash vests in various colours.
A rash vest can be used all year round but mostly in the warmer months to keep the run away from the sailors body.
Warm, comfortable and long lasting, exactly what you want from a pair of sailing gloves. We've had nothing but great feedback from customers and our sponsored sailors on these gloves, especially in the colder months.
Shop Zhik G2 Long Finger Sailing Gloves
Popular all year round and a product you'll see on many sailors the Zhik Sailing Visor is available in various colours. Comfortable and designed to take the sweat away from the sailors head. It comes complete with a 2:1 adjustment so the sailor can get the exact fit they need.

Read MoreMy favourite rope for splicing
Solid folding lock knife, this is my third one (dropped the last and the first I had for over 6 years).
Looks like it will be good at cutting rope, I've only ever used it for cutting cheese...
we order some stainless beta pins, good price and very quick delivery.
Zhik described this range as medium waterproofness. Unsure what this means and whether I need a spare set of gear for stronger weather. Not convinced but it fits well and it’s a good make. Would be good to see a long term review
The Inglefield clip was invented by Lieutenant Edward Inglefield RN in the 1890s, it has been standard issue to British warships since 1895.
The idea was to make a reliable and fast way of assembling a hoist of signal flags, which they do very well.
I have had a long involvement with these clips, mostly for flags, but they have other uses, for example the West Lancashire Seabird One Design (a half rater) use the clips for their spinnaker halyard attachment to the sail, and I have seen a big version cut out of steel plate for a special job.
The standard clips are made from brass, these medium size nylon ones are clearly not as strong as brass, but they are good for small flags.
A further advantage is the avoidance of metallic stains on the bunting.
I don't think they would be strong enough for a big flag in windy conditions, but that isnt what i purchased them for.
Brilliant rope pack - thanks
