WELCOME TO P&B | COWES

Sourcing the right equipment on the island has historically meant ordering online and waiting, or making a trip to the mainland. The refitted P&B Cowes store makes that straightforward. Technical sailing kit – race clothing, deck hardware, rope, rigging components and accessories – stocked and specified by a team that knows the products.

Cowes is a demanding location. The sailing calendar runs year-round, from spring club racing through Cowes Week in August and into the offshore season. The equipment needs across that range are specific. Harken blocks and travellers for keelboat racing. Marlow control lines cut to length. SLAM offshore jackets rated for the conditions. Zhik's trapeze gear and hiking shorts for performance dinghy work. These aren't generic chandlery lines – they're the products the island's competitive sailors actually use.

The connection to our Northampton HQ means the range extends well beyond what fits on the shelves in Cowes. The Northampton site operates a full sail loft producing class-specific sails for dinghy and keelboat racing, a repair workshop handling hull, rig and sail work, and a warehouse holding one of the broadest dinghy and keelboat inventories in the UK. Items ordered through the Cowes store and not held locally dispatch rapidly from Northampton straight to the island.
