I found the product description for these protectors a bit misleading regarding the rope size needed to thread through them. The mention of Velcro led me to believe they could simply be wrapped around, but that’s not the case. They definitely won’t fit over the loops of my bridles as I had planned.

As a long-standing customer of Force 4 Chandlery, I’ve found this multi-tool to be an essential piece of kit for life on the water. It works brilliantly as a blowtorch and for soldering, and while it does burn through gas canisters faster than expected, the power output for such a compact unit makes it totally worth it—a few quid for a refill is a small price to pay. The integrated rope cutter is effective, though if you’re tackling lines thicker than 10mm, you need to take it slow to avoid fraying. Ideally, the blade could be sharper to slice cleanly rather than dragging through the fibers. The tool comes housed in a robust box with some solder and other accessories included, and replacement tips are easy to source. All in all, it’s a must-have for any onboard tool kit.

I’ve been using this block from Force 4 Chandlery in Hamble for five years, sailing once a week under normal conditions. While the mechanism itself is still perfectly functional, the stainless steel bracket failed completely—it rusted through and snapped.

Just swapped out the old Lewmar 6s on my Hunter 27 for these winches from Force 4 Chandlery and I’m really pleased. If you sail solo or with a small crew, this is a solid upgrade. The halyard is much easier to handle in the last few feet, and controlling the downwind sheets is a breeze. Plus, getting free handles was a great bonus since I didn’t have any locking ones before. Highly recommended!

I bought my products from Force 4 Chandlery in Hamble for my motorboat, which sits on a dry stack. I was trying to strip the old anti-fouling to return to bare gel coat, but the two-pack primer had cured as hard as concrete, making removal a real struggle. After some research, I chose the bottom paint recommended here for its total waterproofing and resistance to blistering, even with indefinite submersion. I applied it about three years ago, and it still looks just as good as the day I put it on—no discoloration and it seems quite chip-resistant. On my 28knot pilot house, I’ve had it in the water for up to 16 days at a time, and it has held up perfectly.

I’ve been using this gear for five years now and it’s still holding up great. Force 4 Chandlery really knows their stuff when it comes to quality nautical supplies, and this item is definitely worth the investment.

I was acting as the first aid officer for our local sailing club when I realized the contents of our first aid box were completely soaked. It wasn’t just the supplies; the interior of the box was wet too.

Bought this from Force 4 Chandlery in Hamble a few years back and it’s been doing a sterling job ever since. Zero corrosion or issues to report. It does exactly what it promises: protects the start battery from draining during general use in a 2-battery setup. This lets you use a robust battery for starting and a leisure battery for everything else, which is much kinder on the leisure battery’s cycle life. Solid product from a trusted chandlery.

I found the pricing a bit steep for what you get. The unit only includes three connectors (filler, feeder, and vent), and they don’t feel particularly robust. It was also tricky to find a specific connector for my fuel return line, and notably, the locking bolts were missing from the package. If you plan to add a sender, be aware that the stainless steel flange won’t work, so you’ll need to buy the nylon one separately. Unfortunately, the fit wasn’t great; I had to compromise by using both the new and old gaskets to achieve a decent seal, which was quite frustrating.
