For many the middle of summer is the time to try something new. For those wanting to try trapezing it's an ideal time because if it all goes wrong the water is warmer and the sunshine will help the situation. It's also the time when other sailors are out on their boats in mass and you're likely to be able to grab a ride.
If you are looking for a new trapeze harness then this article will hopefully help you gain the key facts about the current harnesses we have in stock.
Our number one recommendation would be to borrow someones and try it, some harnesses can be uncomfortable and the last thing you want to do is end up with something sitting in the corner which can't be worn. For anyone at our club who comes and asks us about trapeze harnesses we straight away lend them one of ours to try on the water. Even if you don't like that specific harness it gives you a good idea of the type you might like.
Currently Sailing Chandlery stock trapeze harnesses from Magic Marine and Zhik. You can see all of the options on our trapeze harness page. They range from £129.99 through to £219.00 and have many different features.
Half harnesses are popular with windsurfers and also catamaran sailors. They allow flexibility and have no shoulder straps. They allow more movement in the top of your body and give you less bulk at the top.
The harness is available in sizes Small through to Extra Large.

This trapeze harness from is for men and women. Magic Marine have given the Wing trapeze harness a nappy harness design.
The harness is made from ripstop nylon polyester with fibre glass battens in the back area and a reinforced kevlar seat.
This makes it strong and long lasting.
The harness is available in sizes Medium through to Extra Large from Sailing Chandlery currently, we can source other sizes on demand.

Again this Magic Marine Pro Racing trapeze harness is for men and women. It is made from ripstop nylon polyester but has the addition of comfortable neoprene leg straps and a reinforced kevlar seat. This is ideal for protection when you're sliding around the boat or jumping in and out onto the wire.
It features a stainless steel spreader bar which runs across the front to spread the weight for your comfort. The spreader bar comes complete with a quick release hook mechanism so you can get untangled if you need to. You simply pull one tag and the hook falls away from the harness.

The Zhik T2 Trapeze Harness is one of the most popular among performance sailors and features a unique velcro adjustment system not seen anywhere else. This allows flexibility and adjustment to the mm while also providing excellent support for you, the sailor.
The material around the crotch stretches and padded shoulders give amazing comfort. By being a nappy style and the velcro system this means you have one strap to tighten up the height, that strap can easily be tucked away so you don't have excess straps while sailing.
I have to say, we sail Tornado catamarans and this is our choice, it's so comfortable and lasts forever. Mine is now on year 8 and has seen some hard racing with long tough events and it's still going strong.
Price - £199.00 (RRP is higher)

Great wide and grippy tyres for a shingle/sharp launching area and compound for an RS400.
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
Great service
