Replica Sails

We import sails from the Far East for an increasing range of one-design boats.

Please note these are not an official sails but are exact replica's, both in shape and weight of sail cloth. i.e this is the best training sail available on the market other than buying an official sail at a huge extra cost, we make our sails to quality not just price.

" I use Sailing Solutions replica sails for training with as I have found them to be just superb, they are real quality sails at an excellent price" (Phil McCoy, 1st GBR Sailor at the Laser Radial Youth Worlds 2009 and 18th Overall) - Phil was using our Laser Radial Sail for training with (pictured to the left).

These sails are perfect for club sailing & racing, local open meeting racing and general training to keep your official sail in better condition for the bigger national and worlds events you might be attending.

All of our sails are folded from new in the factory, the creases in the sail will disappear very quickly when the sail is used for the first time and will have no effect at all on performance. All sails come with tell tales attatched, a bag and a batterns if they are used in the sail.

If required we can supply your sail number at a small extra cost, with instructions on how to apply.

For a full breakdown of sails we stock and their price’s click on the sail picture or look up ‘Replica sails’ under the ‘Product and Services’ tab at the top of this page.


 General Chandlery - for all boats

We can also supply general chandlery items that we all require including:

  • A range of rope for what ever your specific need is,
  • Transportation - Tie down straps that are padded for your boat and easy to keep tidy & Roof bar pads, Trailer and Trolley wheels, R clips etc
  • Books and DVD's that we feel are the most usefull and helpful to improve your sailing,
  • A range of Optimum Time starting watches,
  • Various wind indicators for either mast head (weighted burgees) or Hawk bottom of the mast wind indicators,
  • Small, medium & large laptop / record bags all made individually from sails.
  • Large bean bags - You supply a sail and we will do the rest. Great for inside or outside lounging.

    SPRINT and SPRINT XL - many of you will know about the Sprint Special Edition Topper that we do. Over the past several years they have been the most successful new Toppers available winning the vast majority of the major championships. We prepare the best boats to the highest specification  and have matched the prices of other suppliers despite having higher specification than anyone else.

    With the launch of the XL toestrap kit we are now able to offer the SPRINT XL which comes with extras over the SPRINT. Included will be the full XL Toestrap System, the new Triple Block Downhaul and a Carbon Extension. All this at very little more than race boats supplied by other dealers.
    More ..........

     


     

    TRANSOM PROTECTOR - Toppers are almost bullet proof but there is a downside to this toughness - they scratch really easily and once they are there it's extremely difficult to remove them.

    With this problem in mind we are happy to offer our TRANSOM PROTECTOR which is quick to attach and detach for the time your boat is waiting to be launched.

    £39.95


    Hiking Bench

    This hiking bench is the best way to work on your hiking muscles and your abdominal core muscles when your not able to get on the water, work on your hiking technique and posture off of the water so it improves your efficiency on the water.   

    This Hiking bench has been aprooved by the RYA Physiologists regarding the fact that it does not cause excess pressure on any part of your body and is therefore perfect for all ages. A good hiking posture does also certainly prevent injuries later on in your life of sailing.

    The hiking bench uses our adjustable toestrap so you can easily work on different toestrap lengths & the seat moves towards or away from the toeastrap to allow you to mirror it to the type of hiking / boat you are used to. Plus not all of us have the same length legs!!
