MORE THAN JUST DINGHY SPECIALIST !
P&B might be the Uk’s leading dinghy chandlery, sailmaker and spar specialist, but we are also so much more.
Maybe we keep it a little bit too quiet but we love keelboats and yachts too. For years at P&B we have enjoyed a little bit of relaxed yacht cruising in our time off from racing. Both Alan Bax and Ian Pinnell can be found cruising out of Chichester Harbour and Ben McGrane from P&B South owns a Folkboat and campaigns an XOD.
YACHTING KIT!
With that in mind we feel that it is time to draw your attention to some of our favourite yachting kit and our package deals. Gill OS2 Coastal and Offshore, This kit is always a winner in terms of value, quality and looks. Musto BR1, Musto’s stylish entry level kit is great for inshore coastal racing and cruising alike. Dubarry Ultima boots, the most popular breathable yachting welly out there. Harken Hardware, serious top end yacht kit available through P&B. Barton Blocks. We have always had great success with these high quality plain bearing blocks. Ideal for cruising yachts. Barton kit has never let us down.
RIGGED AND READY FOR RACING!
P&B offer a bespoke splicing and rigging service. We stock tapered sheets for many dinghy classes such as the Fireball and 5o5 but we are also geared up to make bespoke rigging and splicing. Call our rigging services on 01604 592808 to get trapeze lines or kicking straps made to the lengths and specifications of your choosing.
KIT of the WEEK!
Each week one of the P&B team will be looking into their kit bag and giving us an item that they simply wouldn't sail without!
Alan Bax has chosen the Musto MPX Offshore Jacket. Alan has been doing his yacht Masters and found the Musto MPX Offshore Jacket was essential for night watches and with Gore breathability kept him dry and cool in the midday sun.
