Collection: Buoyancy Aids

Your personal safety is of the utmost importance when sailing, making a buoyancy aid an essential piece of safety equipment that cannot be ignored. 

Even experienced sailors can find themselves unexpectedly in the water due to rough seas, sudden manoeuvres, or accidents. Buoyancy aids provide life-saving flotation, keeping you safe until help arrives. Foresight is important here as being prepared for every eventuality could potentially save your life in an emergency.

Sometimes known as a buoyancy vest, this equipment offers a basic level of safety, especially in situations when a life jacket might be seen as too bulky or restrictive. They are built with adjustable straps for a comfortable fit, that still allows for freedom of movement, and tend to have a high-cut design to not hinder tasks like raising sails and handling lines. The zip entry makes them easy to get on and off, also fitting effortlessly over your sailing clothing.

We have a wide range of styles from some of the best names in the industry, such as Helly Hansen. There are even ones suitable for children, so your little ones can be kept as safe as possible when they join you out on the water!
