This new Allen ratchet block may be the finest piece of sailing kit we have on the boat now. It works very effectively and actually feels different than other ratchets. Well built and great design... See more

Had many difficulties to purchase UK parts due to Brexit. Allen solved this through cooperation between Royal Mail and our country Postal company. VAT and Custom fees are all smoothly processed.

I was delighted with the Allen Brothers company. The items arrived in excellent condition. There was a slight delay at Greek Customs and a long delay in delivery by the Greek postal service.

Quality Item
Clear website with good navigation and good descriptions of items including dimensions.
Order turnaround was quick as was delivery.
I was looking for a simple shackle key and found just what I needed at Allen. It's an easy to use tool worth carrying in a buoyancy aid.

Needed to buy a spinnaker cage
Needed to buy a spinnaker cage for our classic yacht. On Pinner & Bax website it was showing "out of stock". Their website mentioned that the fitting was made by Allen. So I contacted Holt Allen. Didn't know they'd changed their name to Holt. They told me to contact yourselves and hey presto you had the item in stock and I bought the item directly from yourselves. No hassle and easy to negotiate your website. Also spoke to one of your staff who was very helpful. Couldn't ask for better service!

Hi Nicholas, thanks for the feedback. To clarify - we are just Allen. Holt Allen does not exist. Holt and Allen are two separate companies and have been for 10+ years now.

Fantastic products and site but the Royal Mail choice to ship outside UK is very bad.

I would prefer to spend more for shipping and use a very good courier service like DHL or UPS.
Thanks, best regards.

Thank you for your 5* feedback and thank you for shopping with us.
All shopping experience was great
All shopping experience was great. The problem was with the international shipping. I end up paying nearly 40% extra because customs. I know this is not under the shop control but makes it difficult for me to repeat any purchasing.
