2017 has been another great year for us at Dinghy Rope (now Sailing Chandlery). Far busier than we could have ever imagined!
It all started with the RYA Dinghy Show in March which was our first time exhibiting. It was brilliant to be out and meeting you all face to face, we had lots of great comments about our service we provide.
During the year we've continued to expand the products we stock far and wide and a long way from rope, which we of course continue to stock with over 100 reels in stock. Our Zhik and Harken stock has increased hugely and those items continue to be popular with sailors all across Europe.
We also launched our own boat covers range which has been very popular over the first few months with many covers leaving Dinghy Rope HQ.
After a completely mad March and April where we struggled to keep up we also hired more staff to ensure we can process your orders quickly and efficiently. During the year we've been training them and adding more useful skills so we can offer you a better more varied service.
In the first couple of months of 2018 we're going to be launching some exciting new products and have new items we will be stocking. We'll also continue to expand our current ranges working towards becoming your number one stop for all sailing chandlery items.
2018 will see some big changes for our company and you'll be seeing us at plenty more events throughout the year. First being the RYA Dinghy Show when we have double the space in the same location as 2017.
For the second year running we are finishing the year as the number one rated Sailing and Boat Equipment company on Trust Pilot which makes us extremely proud. Customer service is key to us and we hope we can continue to meet your expectations in 2018.
Before we close off for 2017 we just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to all of our customers. We simply wouldn't be here without you and we look forward to speaking to you in the new year. Keep an eye on your inboxes on new years day.
Have a look at some of our photo highlights of the year on our Facebook page.
Good service, delivered promptly
Love the range of cups, because a brew is the first call on any boat, before and after the maneuver, rig, derig, and before ju.ping ship, it's also the first thing I do before I investigating a real issue ... but us commercial skippers need a cool head and lots of coffee, served piping hot, normally drunk cold haha
Included in the batten set is a small batten pusher used to set the velcro closure. Essential bit of kit. Check Youtube for the correct way to use it.
There’s that saying we all know… the quality of these items are superb!
I’m new to sailing but as in all sports, hobbies, pastimes/leisure time pursuits etc that I take up and participate in, I’ve always had the same attitude and method, with regard to when it comes to the research and purchase of the correct gear… in that I buy the best that I can at the best price i.e buy it once and it will last; without the need (when buying a lesser quality item), to find that that you’d actually like to upgrade…
Zhik to me is top quality gear!
I’m 5’9” and 11 and a half stone
This outfit fits me like a glove and a second skin. If you can (and excuse the pun!) push the boat out with regard to the pricier purchase price, imo you will be making a great choice! 10 out of 10!
Good quality fitted well, length good
Great service
Fast delivery - exactly as per order - many thanks
Nice smooth finish and easy to splice
This is not only comfortable but really roomy. The internal pocket is just right for my laptop and the straps mean that some items can be clipped on the outside. I’ll be using this for years to come!!
Great, exactly what I wanted they seem high quality and dont rust.
Such an easy website to use and the team are great. Fast arrival and brilliant condition. Definitely my go-to for all my sailing needs
Super value for money and delivered super quickly too. We were back on the water racing within no time
It’s really good you can get a spare for this because often you only lose this bit! It’s a much cheaper option and comes quickly.
The wheels were easily fitted to my laser launching trolley using existing washers and retaining clips.
Have been used only a couple of times so far but run smoothly and seem to do the
job fine.
Really pleased with the cover fits perfectly. I knew when it would arrive the company kept me up to date with the process
