Crewsaver, the UK’s leading lifejacket and watersports equipment manufacturer, is pleased to announce the launch of a range of new clothing, safety kit and luggage designed for dinghy sailors.

With over five decades of expertise in manufacturing quality equipment, Crewsaver prides itself on its thorough research and development system, which results in designing dinghy products that sailors really want to use.

Today Crewsaver launched a selection of buoyancy aids, clothing, gloves and luggage for the dinghy market at METS 2012 (Marine Equipment Trade Show) in Amsterdam, the international marine leisure industry’s largest trade show.

David Ellis, Crewsaver’s Sales and Marketing Director, said: “We are delighted to launch the latest additions to our extensive range for dinghy sailors including the Strike spray top, buoyancy aids, luggage and gloves. All the items in our quality range are designed to provide unrivalled safety features, exceptional comfort and high performance based on the feedback from all levels of dinghy sailors.”

Crewsaver launched the lightweight and highly durable Strike spray top (RRP £80) for the dinghy sailor featuring adjustable cuffs and neoprene waist. Both windproof and extremely breathable, the Strike is an unlined and fully taped 100 percent waterproof spray top with a secure chest pocket. The Strike spray top is available in black/red in a full range of sizes from child through to XXL.

New additions to Crewsaver’s safety range for dinghy sailors are the Replay buoyancy aid and the Tetra buoyancy aid.

The Replay buoyancy aid (RRP £89.99), designed for coaches and instructors, features a unique front zip entry system, large rear hydration pocket and slim fit layered foam construction.
