🚨 Don't Miss Our Harken 3 For 2 Weekend - Ends Tonight 🚨
July 03, 2024 3 min read
As you might have seen we are expanding our Devoti offering here at Sailing Chandlery and are now offering the D-Zero dinghy.
Of course, when we get a new boat in we want to get out there and test it for ourselves. This weekend we took advantage of a reasonable forecast, loaded up a used D-Zero onto the trailer and headed to our sailing club to get the boat out on the water.
As with any boat that arrives at a sailing club you soon get a crowd coming over to see what the boat is, who's it is and what is happening. With it being on the back of the Sailing Chandlery van most people thought it was a new boat we were delivering to a customer.
Initial impressions of the D-Zero from the people who came over:
Unfortunately we picked a dull grey British summers day, but on the flip side that did mean we had some decent wind to sail in.
The breeze was up and it was blowing between a force 4 and force 5 across the River Blackwater. Enough to get the boat going and give it a real test.
Both Jason (68kgs) and Andrew (95kgs) sailed the boat, Jason was up first after launching and took off from the hard.

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
The wheels are exactly what I ordered. Delivery was immediate from the store and they arrived exactly when promised. 100% - job well done!
Excellent fast service from this company. Very good price for the Parka & free shipping. As a Motorhome & dog owner I bought the Parka to use when these activities frequently get cold & wet! I haven't had cause to use it yet. I've tried it on & it's just what I needed. It's a good long length (I'm 5ft 8") & does away with the need for waterproof trousers. Very handy zipped pockets & I like the fact that you can tighten up the wrist cuffs. I'm very pleased with my purchase & would certainly recommend Sailing Chandlery. Thank you.
Good quality product and easy to fit.
