Our sailing gifts under £100 are the main pieces of kit a sailor relies on, and the ones they often put off replacing. They make ideal presents for big birthdays, Christmas or the start of a new season.
Sailing boots are a favourite, with zip and lace entry styles from Gill, Zhik and Rooster. A new buoyancy aid, such as the Rooster Diamond Overhead or Gill Pro Racer, is a gift that gets used on every sail, and a Rooster Aquafleece top is welcome in any dinghy park.
For winter sailors, Zhik thermal base layers and fleeces add serious warmth. Racers will appreciate a Windie Race Timer Pro sailing watch, and a Rooster Carry All or Zhik duffel keeps the whole kit bag organised.

Read MoreSome frequently asked questions that other customers have asked us about Sailing Gifts Under £100.
What sailing gifts can I buy for under £100?
Under £100 you can buy a sailor a main piece of kit that will last for seasons. Popular choices include sailing boots from Gill, Zhik and Rooster, a buoyancy aid, a Rooster Aquafleece top, Zhik thermal layers, a Rooster or Zhik kit bag, or a Windie Race Timer Pro sailing watch. These are the big ticket items sailors often put off buying for themselves.
Are sailing boots a good gift, and how do I choose a pair?
Sailing boots are a great gift if you know the sailor's shoe size, as a worn pair makes every cold launch miserable. Zip entry boots such as the Gill Aero are quick to get on and off, while lace entry boots such as the Gill Edge and Rooster Pro Laced give a more adjustable, secure fit for hiking. If the size is wrong, our 90 day returns cover an exchange.
Is a buoyancy aid a good gift for a sailor?
A buoyancy aid is a thoughtful gift, because it is the one piece of kit a dinghy sailor wears every time they go afloat. The Rooster Diamond Overhead, Gill Pro Racer, Gill Pursuit and Zhik Performance Racecut PFD are all popular. Buoyancy aids are sized by chest measurement and body weight, so check the size guide before you buy.
What are good gifts under £100 for a dinghy racer?
Good gifts under £100 for a dinghy racer are those that help on the race course. A Windie Race Timer Pro sailing watch makes start sequences easier to judge, a ZhikGrip II hiking strap improves comfort and control in an ILCA, and a Gorilla foil bag protects a rudder and daggerboard in transit. A Rooster Pro Lite Aquafleece keeps them warm between races.
What should I do if I can't find the right sailing gift?
If you can't find the right sailing gift, a Sailing Chandlery gift voucher lets the sailor choose for themselves. Vouchers can be spent on anything on our website and are valid for one year. They are available as a digital code, which is ideal for a last minute present, or as a printed card to wrap up and give in person.
