Does anyone know of a chandlery in the Swindon area (12 mile radius). I
would of thought they'd be one around with the Cotswold water park nearby?

Cheers,

Bowmoor Sailing Club has a chandlery open at sailing times - not much
stock, but anything is orderable.
There is a chandlery at Abingdon (A34 just south of Oxford).
Or its down south to LDC (just south of Winchester)
Or west to Southern Sailboats (SW of Bristol).

Not forgetting towards London, The Dinghy Store located at Datchet

Can't comment about the others, but Southern Sailboats was never a
Chandlers and is now defunct. In Bristol there is Marine Farce and in
Weston there is Uphill Boat Yard who are a bunch of robbing bastards!
Marine Farce are staffed by very nice people who bend over backwards to
help, but the parent company are a bunch of twats. For Dinghys, there is
Wet & Windy in Bristol, who are very good. There is a dinghy shop in
Cheltenham also but I can't remember the name off hand.
