Sailing Buoyancy Aids

Sailing Buoyancy Aid

Sailing Buoyancy Aids

Not to be confused with life jackets, buoyancy aids are an essential piece of safety equipment that will ensure you float should you fall into the water. Unlike life jackets, sailing buoyancy aids do not contain a gas cylinder that will need to be replaced after each use, which is why they’re perfect for dinghy sailing.

Dinghy Sailing Buoyancy Aids

To meet the demands of the user, sailing buoyancy aids have a low profile fit, making them ideal for high speed, high agility sports. Furthermore, sailing buoyancy aids are designed to be lightweight and unrestrictive, providing you with maximum comfort and freedom of movement, so you can perform to the best of your ability.

Furthermore, buoyancy aids like Spinlock’s Wing PFD also contain handy features like internal and external pockets, which enable you to keep your valuables close to hand, and also dry coated elastic side panels that reduce water absorption to keep the weight down.

We are commonly asked if there is a difference between sailing buoyancy aids and dinghy sailing buoyancy aids. This can often be confusing as different brands use different wording in an attempt to make their products more appealing to the end user, however they are both exactly the same.

Best Buoyancy Aid for Dinghy Sailing

There is no definitive answer to what the best buoyancy aid for dinghy sailing is, as it is ultimately down to your requirements and your budget. If you’re serious about sailing and require nothing less than the best, our recommendation would be Crewsaver’sPro Ex 50N Buoyancy Aid as this is developed using the same technology developed for the America’s Cup. It’s simply a revolutionary buoyancy aid that provides the most advanced safety specification of any buoyancy aid we have seen.

For a mid-range buoyancy aid, we’d suggestSpinlock’s Wing PFD. This 50N buoyancy aid has a low profile design with a tapered high cut that offers excellent mobility. The sailing buoyancy aid also has multiple pockets that enable you to keep your valuables close to hand.

And finally, we have one of our best-selling buoyancy aids. Marinepool 50N Active Buoyancy Aid offers exceptional value for money thanks to its lightweight PE foam construction and adjustable waist belt fastening that ensures an extremely comfy fit. This buoyancy aid is perfect for a range of activities, from kayaking to dinghy sailing, topaddle boarding and even when out enjoying a ride on a towable water toy.
