The 420 end of seasons 2018 were held at Grafham water, we had about 35 boats entered with some very competitive boats at the front. The wind was scheduled to be light but with potential to build to medium conditions. Prior to the event we’d just got a new boat so I had an intense week of preparing the boat to fit our preferred mast. Thanks to the support from Sailing Chandlery for making this possible.
On Saturday we launched in unpredictable light conditions which settled slightly so we could get racing underway. The event got off to a perfect start for us by picking up two bullets, this was an amazing feeling as they were also our first race wins in the 420. The wind increased slightly to roughly 10 kts for the last two races of the day and we managed to sail a respectable 4th and 6th. The results from the day saw us sitting in first place over night which was unexpected but also a very welcome surprise for us.
Sunday had a slightly increased forecast, the fleet launched early in the morning and racing got underway. Our first race wasn’t very good and it became our discard, we were too conservative on the line and then got on the wrong side of a big right hand shift. Our penultimate race of the event was a 3rd and the last race was a nice 5th to round the competition off. Overall we managed to pick up second place which is a great achievement for us and a very positive step forward to the winter training.
Thanks as always to Sailing Chandlery as they made it possible to get the new boat prepped for the event. Also a big thanks as always to the support from the WYA and Gill.
Delivery was on time. The O rings fitted the hatches on my topper topaz. No issues excellent service
I ordered the hiking pads for my son who was very pleased with them. The order was delivered within a few days. I’ve ordered items before from sailing chandlery and have not been disappointed with the service I received. Thank you
Loads of space in this bag for all of my kit, extra pockets are very helpful and the compartment inside keeps my dry and wet kit apart. Would recommend.
Not actually for a Topper but for a sailing canoe I have built. Pleased with the quality, delivered promptly, just the job thank you!
I’m using this with the Clamcleat CL211 and they pair perfectly. Strong and with the stiffness that I was looking for. Really pleased with the purchase and excellent quick service.
These work fantastically. Used with 6mm rope they grip instantly. Easy to adjust in small amounts and lock in with no effort at all. I was concerned that when the pressure comes off that the rope would release, but this isn’t the case at all. Really pleased with the purchase and rapid delivery.
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.
Always can rely on sailing chandlery leading up to a busy event season ! Great service, great products all round !
