We often get asked why we have so many different types of wheels. The main reason is every club and centre, along with their members, have a different challenge when launching their boat. Whether that be a concrete slipway or a rocky beach, different wheels work better on different surfaces.
Will these fit my boat?
Most dinghy trolleys have a 1 inch/ 25mm axle, which is the standard size that trolleys come with. We also have the dimensions of the wheel on the product pages if you would like to measure and check if they will fit.

These are the most affordable and most commonly seen wheel around the dinghy park. The Pneumatic wheel we stock is constructed from 4 ply rubber compound that is more resistant to wear and will last a lot longer than the cheaper 2-ply wheels found on eBay. The 2-ply version will crack and perish very quickly. Don't get caught out with poor-quality wheels as you will pay more in the long run and potentially be stranded.
The Starco Puncture Proof wheels are a relatively new wheel. The wheels are constructed from plastic inner and foam tyre, making them lighter than inflatable wheels. The hard-wearing foam is great for wooden jetties or smooth slipways. However, on rough surfaces, these will struggle as they are solid and have no movement in the side of the tyre.
The Wide trolley wheels are custom wheels made for sailing trolleys. The standard trolley wheel centre with an ATV Tyre makes a great wheel for heavier boats and sandy beaches with a larger surface area they do not sink into the sand.
This is just a very quick overview of the wheels we sell. If you have additional questions please get in touch, our team are always happy to help.
Receive fantastic service couldn’t help any more if they tried. Arranged for me to collect my order at a time that suited even when it was outside of working hours. Much appreciated, thank you sailing Chandlery.
Excellent gloves, perhaps the best I have used. The fingers are long enough to provide protection from sheets/halyards and fit nicely so that ropes cannot get between the glove and finger. If the winter gloves are any guide they should also be very durable.
really happy with these! the thick material means that I will be warm whilst sailing, and the 3 finger coverage allows mobility and warmth on the water. the added grip will really help on the heavy wind reaches, can't wait to test them out this weekend. shipping was really quick, with a sweet included in my order thank you.
As always, great stock, quick delivery, perfect, thank you
The footprint of these is much more than standard trolley wheels so they roll on sand much easier.
These Falker Burgees are essential for our training fleet, giving an instant indication of apparent wind direction.
Made of stainless steel they do not corrode, and are easy to fit into the mast bracket.
It is a shame the sail part is not available as a spare as this part does not last forever, unlike the ss frame.
Nice product.
Arrived quickly and fits very well
Fast, efficient service and the lightweight trolley is perfect for my needs.
We needed to change the size and it looks like they will change the Hikers for a size up. Thank you very much
Thank you Sailing Chandlery for delivering my new sailing watch.
An excellent product and decent value.
Service was great, delivery was quick and item was good quality.
These are excellent launching trolley wheels. Much better quality than the cheaper 'knock-off' ones on eBay! It took a couple of minutes to take off my old ones and fit these
Recently bought these as a birthday present for my dad. Order arrived super speedy (even with a treat of love hearts in it). The fit and quality is great, he really loved them
