Welcome to Marine Chandlery

Rob Storrar, a sailmaker by trade, first opened for business over 35 years ago. Frustrated with the lack of a good local chandlery, he began stocking a limited range of marine equipment. As demand grew he pioneered the now familiar concept of the one-stop chandlery/sailmaking/spar & rigging outlet. To this day his overriding commitment continues to be to quality, choice, first class service & specialist knowledge.

As a past National champion in a variety of dinghy classes, he has a wealth of practical experience both in sailing and fitting out boats. His skills have been recognised internationally and as a result he has supplied boats and equipment worldwide. His "big boat" experience is second to none having in the past purchased a bare shell and fitted it out from scratch including installing the engine and all associated running gear, manufactured the sails, covers, upholstery and rigged the mast.
