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.
fast delivery with no problems
Ordered Zhik boots and wetsuit easily enough on-line, quick email response reviewing order, and they were despatched same day. Wetsuit is awesome, I wrongly ordered the boots size, a quick phone call, they explained what I needed to do, and they’ve changed them super quick. Didn’t miss any days sailing……..Highly recommend.
Got a set for my son who's 6' 3" and 92KG and L was way too small. Spoke to someone on the phone who was very helpful on sizing. Actually, went for a XXL in the end and he is happy with that fit so I would say these come up a bit small compared to other manufacturers although I guess you want a tight a fit as possible with hikers.
Vert happy with the service and advice. Video was helpful too.
Good quality product that was delivered very quickly
Got this top as I was looking for something which could keep me dry and warm at the same time in the best effective way possible, allowing me to have freedom of movement. All came to this top and it was definitely the right choice.
Well manufactured. Good quality product. The neoprene waist band makes sure you will be comfortable and as it stays adjusted all the time. Same thing goes to the wrist area.
Overall it is a really good product, best quality vs price I found and not disappointed.
Very speedy delivery and looks great on the Laser
Replaced easily enough. Same dimensions as the original on the boat. Works perfectly and keeps everything neat now.
I had given up all hope
Ordered gloves one evening and dispatched the following day
Very quick and efficient
Will definitely use again
Significantly cheaper than a class official sail but also much more longwearing so win / win!! Only slight criticism is that on the latest sail, the furling direction to get the velcro tape to hold the sail rolled is opposite to the marked direction on a Pico lower mast....
apart from that - strongly recommended
I was very pleased to find this top in stock here. Rooster had sold out. But Sailing Chandlery still had stock. Arrived promptly.
Nice feel and robust rope with little stretch and easily cleats. Remarkable quality at price.
Easy to order, quick delivery good products
Nice and good quality wetsuit
Excellent customer service. The size I first ordered was too small and the team at Sailing Chandlery could not have been more helpful, quick to respond, and professional.
brilliant I have had this jacket before and know it's waterproof and excellent designed well worth the money. Recommend the jacket to any
