Sailing Gifts for Christmas and Other Occasions Frequently Asked Questions

Some frequently asked questions that other customers have asked us about Sailing Gifts for Christmas and Other Occasions.

What are the best gifts for a sailor?

The best gifts for a sailor are practical pieces of kit they will use every time they go afloat. Sailing gloves from Gill and Rooster, thermal socks, base layers, dry bags and wind indicators are all popular choices. For a bigger present, look at an aquafleece top, sailing boots or a new buoyancy aid from brands like Zhik and Rooster.

What are good sailing stocking fillers for Christmas?

Good sailing stocking fillers are small, useful items that live in a kit bag or buoyancy aid pocket. A stainless steel shackle key, rescue whistle, floating sunglasses strap, Zhik headband or pair of Rooster Hot Socks all work well. Our Sailing Gifts Under £25 collection is the quickest place to find Christmas stocking fillers for sailors.

What do you buy a sailor who has everything?

For the sailor who has everything, buy the kit that wears out. Sailing gloves rarely last more than a season or two, so a fresh pair is always welcome, as are neoprene socks and a spare wind indicator. Splicing tools such as fids and D Splicer scissors also make a great gift for anyone who enjoys working on their own boat.

What sailing gift can I buy if I don't know their size?

If you don't know their size, choose a sailing gift that doesn't need one, such as a kit bag, wind indicator, splicing kit or a Sailing Chandlery gift voucher so they can pick for themselves. If you do buy clothing, we offer 90 day returns, so the sailor can exchange it for a different size or something else after Christmas or their birthday.

What are good gifts for a junior or young sailor?

Good gifts for junior sailors are the things that keep them warm and comfortable on the water, because a warm child stays keen. Rooster junior PolyPro thermal tops and leggings, junior aquafleece tops, sailing gloves and warm socks are all popular birthday and Christmas presents. A junior buoyancy aid is a great choice for a young sailor who has outgrown their current one.
