Sailing Gear Websites

Shopping online is fun. It’s even more exciting when you know where to go and don’t have to spend hours searching for stores that sell what you’re looking for. Since I’m new to sailing, I’ve had to purchase lots of things in a short period of time. So.. I’ll share with you the e-tailers that have a good selection of sailing gear for women. I recommend that you create a folder in your browser under Favorites or Bookmarks called Sailing Gear. When you visit each link below you can save the website URL so it will always be there when you’re ready to shop!

TIP #1: A good way to select which item you want is to go to the manufacturers website. They should have the most complete description of their products along with sizing charts. Some manufacturers also sell their products online. Others don’t but will have a link to dealers. Once you select a product you like be sure to Google that product because that’s the best way to find the best price.

Tip#2 – You will find good sailing gear on sites that sell Paddling gear. The rigors of paddling as a watersport are similar to sailing. Paddlers need products that can handle a wet environment, lots of physical activity that requires freedom of motion and a high level of safety. So you might find some cool things in that area.

Ok ladies, and gents if you’re visiting, first I’m going to give you everybody’s name I can think of. If there are others, please let me know in the comments and I’ll add them. In future posts I’ll identify which manufacturers sell specific gear you may be looking for and which etailers have the best selection and prices. I’ve put together this quick list to get you up and running on your sailing shopping journey.

Tip: If you’re looking for something on the internet, just Google the manufacturer’s name and the item you seek, e.g. “Henri Lloyd spray top.” That’s a good way to find E-tailers that sell what you’re looking for.
