About
Newport sailing chandlery and online shop operated by Riggtech, supplying rigging hardware, ropes, deck fittings, sailing equipment and specialist yacht components.
Service area: Australia-wide online delivery
Riggtech Bosun's Locker Newport is a specialist sailing chandlery and online shop connected to Riggtech's marine rigging business in Newport on Sydney's Northern Beaches. Its online range covers rigging hardware, sailing fittings, ropes, deck equipment, yacht hardware, chandlery items and components used in sailboat maintenance and upgrades. The retailer is relevant to cruising and racing sailors, yacht owners, boat managers and customers carrying out rigging, deck-hardware or sail-handling work.
The business combines a physical Newport chandlery with an online shop and the wider technical capabilities of Riggtech's rigging operation. The close connection to professional rigging services is useful for sailboat owners sourcing hardware that may need to integrate with standing or running rigging systems. For Australian boat owners, this makes the business a specialist source rather than a general marketplace where marine products are only a minor category.
The catalogue can be useful for routine maintenance, replacement parts, safety purchases and planned upgrades, depending on the retailer's particular focus. Customers should check current product pages for dimensions, ratings, manufacturer specifications, stock status, freight conditions and compatibility with the individual vessel before ordering. This is especially important for equipment connected to electrical systems, navigation, propulsion, steering, rigging, anchoring or safety, where installation requirements and vessel specifications can materially affect suitability.
Phone, email or enquiry-form details are included where publicly available so customers can confirm technical or ordering questions directly with the retailer. For larger purchases, checking the manufacturer's installation documentation before ordering can reduce compatibility problems and unnecessary returns. This is an original, neutral summary based on the retailer's public website and associated business or marine-industry sources. It does not imply that every category, brand or product is continuously held in stock.

Batemans Bay and the Clyde River form a classic NSW South Coast cruising region where a sheltered, tidal estuary meets a short, island‑dotted entrance to the Tasman Sea. It’s distinctive for easy access from Canberra, a mix of river and bay sailing, a compact marina and mooring network, and a river entrance (the Clyde River bar) that can change rapidly. The area suits day sails, weekend cruising, trailer‑boat exploration and sheltered coastal passages; offshore or long‑passage plans require careful timing and local knowledge. Preparation for tidal flow, variable southerly swells and shallow, s
Explore →Bathurst Harbour (Port Davey system), in south‑west Tasmania, is a vast, almost land‑locked estuarine harbour inside the Southwest National Park and World Heritage Area. It offers a remote, sheltered anchoring environment protected from the Roaring Forties, but demands careful planning, an awareness of marine‑reserve rules, and a willingness to operate in shallow, tannin‑stained waters. Best suited to experienced coastal cruisers and small expedition yachts prepared for self‑sufficiency, Bathurst Harbour is more a place to linger and explore on foot and by tender than a port of call for busy,
Explore →Ashmore Reef is a remote, uninhabited oceanic reef and low-lying island group in the Timor Sea that offers a stark, conservation-led sailing environment rather than typical recreational cruising. It is distinctive for its exposed coral reef, vegetated sand islands and strong legal protections, including tightly controlled access and traditional Indonesian fishing arrangements. Visiting from a recreational yacht is logistically challenging, subject to regulatory limits, and suited only to well-prepared offshore passages or research/management charters rather than casual day sails.
Explore →Apollo Bay is a small working harbour on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road where sheltered inshore sailing meets the Southern Ocean. The character is a mix of protected harbour berths and an exposed open coast: pleasant day-sails and sheltered weekend cruising inside the bay, with demanding coastal passages immediately offshore where south‑westerly swell and strong winds from the Southern Ocean dominate. It suits coastal cruisers, trailer sailors who launch at the ramp, and experienced coastal sailors who understand bar and swell behaviour; it is not a casual open‑ocean anchorage for unprepared or
Explore →A regular, layered maintenance routine combining hull cleaning, targeted anti-fouling management, cathodic protection and systems checks will substantially reduce marine growth and corrosion for boats kept year‑round in South Australian waters. Focus on preventing attachment and electrochemical attack, then inspect and act more often if you’re in warm, nutrient-rich or high‑traffic sheltered waters.
Explore →Activate an EPIRB or PLB only when you are in grave or imminent danger and need search and rescue; use VHF and contact Marine Rescue for urgent help, to request assistance, or to relay information when you have time-critical but non-life-threatening problems.
Explore →Treat a southerly buster as a rapid-onset windshift with a strong increase in wind and sea state; prepare the boat and crew by reducing sail area early, securing loose gear, briefing crew on roles, and identifying shelter or an upwind recovery plan. Respond quickly but deliberately — keep boat controllable, avoid last-minute heavy-handed moves, and prioritise mainsail and crew safety over speed.
Explore →Fit simple, practical modifications: secure non-slip surfaces and handholds, safe barriers and lifelines, a shaded rest area, proper ventilation, accessible fresh water and food storage, and appropriate flotation and ID for the pet. Tailor each item to your boat size, the pet’s size and temperament, and how you use the boat.
