Binks Marine

• Binks Marine is a South Australian marine store based at 27 Byre Avenue, Somerton Park, with an active online shop. The business presents itself as a combined chandlery, rigging and watersports supplier with services that include yacht rigging, a sail loft and sail repairs, together with retail stock for small-boat owners and foiling enthusiasts.

What Sailors Will Find Here

• The product mix spans everyday chandlery items — anchors, ropes, shackles, cleats and fenders — through to deck hardware such as blocks, tracks and winches. Electrical items, pumps, skin fittings and navigation lights are listed alongside electronics and communications gear.
• There is a clear focus on rigging and sails: the site promotes wire rigging, rigging tools, mast and boom sections, a sail loft and sail repair services, and it explicitly offers new North Sails.
• Action watersports is a visible second strand. Binks lists wing-foiling, SUP and windsurfing ranges, plus Hobie pedal kayaks, Hobie sailboats and Eclipse pedalboards.

Brands Worth Knowing

• The site names several recognised marine and watersports brands, including Hobie (they state they have been Hobie dealer for Adelaide since the mid‑2000s), North (North Sails and North Actionsports wings), Ronstan, Harken, Gill Marine, Selden, Vaikobi and Code Foils. These brands help explain why the catalogue covers both classic yacht fittings and modern foiling kit.

Useful for Yacht Owners and Cruisers

• If you need replacement deck hardware, rigging wire or a new block or cleat during a refit, Binks lists the sorts of parts often requested together in a single job: rope, shackles, chain and anchors, pump and plumbing supplies, plus electrical components and navigation lights.
• The presence of a sail loft and advertised sail repair service makes the store relevant for owners repairing older sails or commissioning new North Sails. Rigging services and wire supplies are useful for rig checks and standing‑rigging replacement jobs.

Shopping Online or Visiting the Store

• Binks operates an online store with product pages for sails, foiling gear, Hobie craft, yacht fittings and more; the site highlights free shipping for orders over $400 (excludes bulk and heavy goods). The business lists a Somerton Park address and shows local Hobie dealer history, indicating a physical presence in Adelaide as well as web sales.
• Product pages and category listings let you browse sections such as yacht fittings, foiling, SUP, windsailing, anchors & docking, electrical, pumps and general boat fittings. The site also carries sale and ex‑demo clearance items.

A Good Place to Look When...

• You’re updating standing or running rigging, need a sail repaired or want to compare new North Sails alongside rigging parts.
• You need the usual chandlery run — rope, cleats, pumps, skin fittings or anchors — while you’re working through a refit list.
• You’re shopping for Hobie kayaks, foil wings, SUP kit or windsurfing gear and want a store that stocks both watersports equipment and the marine hardware that supports boats and tenders.
