None of us quite know what's going to happen over the next few weeks, do we believe the media, is it as bad as they portray - who knows! What we do know is we need to all work together to make the best of a bad situation.
Obviously the top priority is keeping fit and healthy, and we wish our customers and friends all the best fighting COVID-19 over the next few weeks.
Here at Sailing Chandlery we like to be positive, if we are all asked to enter lock down then we should look at how we can keep ourselves busy and also expand our skills which we can put to good use when we are free again.
Our list of 5 things to do:
A great task to get the kids onto, why not let them play with some string and practice their knots - I am sure there's also a few of us adults who can't remember which way the rabbit goes around the tree.
Product Highlight - Bag of Rope Ends
We won't provide the hints and tips for this one as YouTube is full of handy resources and splicing videos. What we can provide is some rope for you to practice with and the splicing tools to help you succeed.
Some of our favourite splicing tools:
Have you seen the Zhik wetsuit repair kit, it's perfect for those little snags you might have on your sailing wetsuit.
Why not take out your sailing kit, give it a good look over and take the time to put a repair in that will last.
It's about this time of year that some of us dig the boat out the hedge and reveal a green slimy memory of a boat we put there around September or October.
Why not have a read of our tips on cleaning your boat cover and grab some fresh air at the same time.
Maybe one to keep the kids entertained, if you can trust them with the hose pipe!
Our sponsored sailors are a fantastic source of knowledge and they've written a number of articles which will provide you with useful information to improve your boat and your sailing. Here are some of the most popular articles:
Bought for my son. He was delighted with it!
I did wonder how I would change the battery on my timer and this kit s the answer !. I race land yachts and do a two minute rolling start which can be rather mad it times so i need that battery !
Fit ok and feels well padded on sole compared to my old worn out boots
Having thoroughly enjoyed a week's training at the Lyme Regis Sea School this phrase is indelibly printed on my sub conscience (the instructors will be pleased to learn) so to have this mug to remind me each morning at breakfast is a treat.
Good quality product worn well first season.
Reliable and delivered on time as stated. Workmanship is very good and the new spinnaker works a treat. Thank you

The Zihk Sailing kit bag is very well-made and much more practical than my rucksack. The ordering process was slick and the delivery was fast. I’m looking forward to my next sailing trip with this product. Good price too, thank you!
