"I am pleased to announce that after many wonderful years, Hikingbench™ & Rigtube™ has now been sold to Andrew Dowley of Sailing Chandlery Limited. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for my customers’ support, kindness and custom, over the years. It has been my pleasure to support the sailing community and in particular the Pathway Parents and Sailors. As I step into retirement, I felt confident that Hikingbench™ & Rigtube™ are in the right hands, and I wish Andrew and his Team every success in the future."
Sailing Chandlery founder Andrew Dowley said
"At Sailing Chandlery, we are always looking for innovative products that genuinely help sailors improve their performance and enjoyment on and off the water. That’s why I’m incredibly excited that we have acquired the Hikingbench™ and Rigtube™ brands and are bringing these unique products into the Sailing Chandlery family.
Both products were created by sailors who understand the demands of the sport and have developed clever solutions to real challenges faced by dinghy sailors. The Hikingbench has become a popular training tool for sailors wanting to improve their hiking strength and endurance, while Rigtube provides a simple but highly effective way to protect and transport valuable sailing spars and rigging.
These products perfectly align with our mission at Sailing Chandlery, to provide practical, high-quality equipment that helps sailors get the most out of their time on the water.
We’re looking forward to developing both brands further, making them more widely available to sailors across the UK and beyond, and continuing to support the sailing community with innovative equipment."
