TeamO sponsorise la série britannique de skiffs de 18 pieds

Série TeamO Marine 18 pieds

TeamO Marine est fier d'annoncer son parrainage de la série Grand Prix Skiff UK Solent de 18 pieds. L'événement, qui s'appellera TeamO Marine Round 2, consiste en deux jours d'action de skiff rapide qui se dérouleront à Calshot dans le Solent et se termineront ensuite par des bières sur la plage pour les concurrents.

Les concurrents de la flotte courront dans le cadre d'une série pour être sacré champion du Skiff 18 pieds à la fin de la saison 2018. Les autres sponsors de la série incluent Gold Sail et AC Rigging. La série UK Skiff compte 5 autres événements qui se dérouleront au cours des mois d'été et, pour la première fois, sera entièrement basée à Calshot Point avec des courses se déroulant autour du Solent. L'objectif est de créer un foyer pour la flotte où les marins pourront venir apprendre et piloter ces incroyables bateaux sur un plan d'eau de renommée mondiale. Le prix général (honneur et gloire !) sera décerné après l'événement final le 30 septembre.

À propos de la série Grand Prix Skiff Solent de 18 pieds :

Après le succès de la première manche au début du mois, la deuxième manche du Solent Grand Prix Series se déroulera les 21 et 22 avril.

Very Comfortable

I looked at a lot of different life vest and found these to be the most comfortable life jackets and with the option of being towed correctly was on obvious choice. Been very happy with the life jackets.

Offshore 170N

Fits very well, I was able to make all the adjustments necessary to fit me. The instructions are good so read them. I have not deployed the jacket yet. I also have worked out how to attach the MOB1. The tether works as expected and attaches to the jack lines with the clips. All in all, I am very pleased and recommend buying this life jacket.

Good choice

Would prefere any EU shop, customs and Vat procedure is boring :)

Excellent lifejacket

I purchased this life jacket in January and, although I have (fortunately) not had the opportunity to use it in a real emergency, I have used it several times. The materials and workmanship are excellent and the jacket is very comfortable to wear, despite being an offshore jacket, which is bulkier than many other “coastal” items (the jacket has a light, a built-in hood and can easily accommodate a PLB). For a more in-depth analysis, look for the Yachting Monthly review published in 2022.
There are only two “issues”: the backtow system does not appear to be all that easy to be repacked if the jacket has been activated and the system deployed. The manual is not very clear on this and the videos on the TemO website refer to older and different versions. I hope TeamO will address this by publishing an updated video for the current system. Otherwise, it would probably be a wise idea to open the jacket and record a video showing how the system is packed for future reference.
The second issue is due to Brexit: if, like me, you plan to buy this life jacket from abroad, be prepared to pay very high customs duties. It's not TeamO's fault, clearly (they seem to try to keep prices low), but if you end up paying 30% more than the listed price, other products might become more interesting. Of course, you'll have to give up the backtow system as TeamO is the only manufacturere to offer a similar solution.

I had a chance to use my new vest this October on 14 days offshore sail. It fits very well no problem to wear it many hours and the materials seems good and durable. Considering my heigh almost 2m i would appreciate even longer straps between legs (always easy to shorten than other way). I haven't fall over yet but once it happens, I will write the second part of review.
