Trusted Suppliers Of Specialist Sailing Equipment

At True North Sailing we supply high-quality tools, parts, and accessories that empower sailors to handle their own repairs and maintenance with confidence. Our online shop is a treasure trove of carefully curated marine products, all selected by sailors, for sailors. 

Whether you own a cruiser, racing yacht, or weekend dinghy, our extensive catalogue of sailing repairs and maintenance accessories ensures you’re well-prepared for any eventuality on the water.

Why Maintenance Matters

Boat maintenance goes beyond appearance – it’s essential for its safety, reliability, and preserving long-term value. Salt spray, sun exposure and constant motion all take a toll on even the most robust vessels. That’s why we offer products designed to simplify upkeep and protect your investment.

From deck restoration and hull cleaning to rigging adjustments and emergency repairs, having the right tools and materials on board can make all the difference. Our range is built to support every part of your boat’s care – whether you’re carrying out a seasonal service or dealing with a sudden fault.

Quality Gear for DIY Skippers

If you prefer a hands-on approach, at True North Sailing we have everything you need for on-the-go or at-home boat care. From marine adhesives and sealants to professional-grade lubricants and boat-specific tools, we’ve got you covered.

One standout product is the Dr. Sails Marine Adhesive (Flexible) – an exceptionally strong, flexible epoxy adhesive that cures quickly and can even bond on damp surfaces. It’s ideal for emergency sail repairs or structural fixes while out at sea, and its compact twin-syringe pack makes it perfect for stowing in your onboard toolkit.

Hull & Deck Care Made Simple

A clean, polished hull and a safe, non-slip deck not only look great – they boost your boat’s performance. We stock a superb range of marine cleaning products, including the 3M Perfect-It Boat Wash. This high-sudsing, biodegradable wash gently removes salt, grime, and residue without stripping wax or polish – making it perfect for regular maintenance.

Additionally, to preserve your gelcoat and restore that glossy finish, look no further than the 3M Perfect-It Boat Wax. Formulated with Brazilian carnauba wax, it protects against UV rays and salt damage while enhancing colour and shine. Easy to apply and buff, it’s a staple in every sailor’s detailing kit.

Lubricants That Keep Everything Running Smoothly

Smooth, well-lubricated hardware is essential for any well-maintained vessel. Our collection of marine greases and sprays is ideal for everything from winches and hinges to engine parts.

The Action Can AC-90 Multi-Purpose Lubricant is a reliable option for general use on board. It displaces moisture, loosens seized parts, and protects against corrosion – all without attracting dust or dirt. It’s a versatile all-rounder that belongs in every skipper’s kit.

Be Prepared With Sealants, Tapes & Epoxies

When unexpected repairs are needed at sea, the right materials can mean the difference between a delay and a disaster. That’s why we stock a range of specialist solutions for structural issues and emergency patches.

Epoxy repair kits, for instance, are perfect for sealing cracks in fibreglass, wood, or metal – even underwater. Duct Tape also makes a smart addition to your emergency repair kit, offering strong, waterproof adhesion that holds fast in wet conditions.

Essential Electrical Testing Tools for Marine Repairs

When it comes to marine maintenance, having the right tools is just as crucial as having quality materials. Whether you’re fault-finding, installing new equipment or carrying out routine checks, reliable electrical testers are a must-have for any toolkit.

At True North Sailing, we stock electrical tools that meet professional standards and are tough enough to withstand the harsh conditions of the marine environment.

For example, the Martindale CM51 300A AC Mini Clamp Meter is a compact, easy-to-use device ideal for measuring current in tight spaces – perfect for onboard diagnostics; The Martindale ET4 Electrical Tester offers both AC and DC current testing up to 200A, combining precision with portability; And for quick socket checks, the Martindale EZ165 Electric Socket Tester helps identify wiring faults instantly, keeping your onboard systems safe and compliant.

These tools are built for accuracy, durability, and ease of use – whether you’re a seasoned marine engineer or a hands-on boat owner.
