In the fastest classes and on foiling boats, head protection has become essential. Negrinautica sailing helmets are designed for sailors on 49er, 49erFX, Nacra 17, O'pen Skiff and foiling moth, where gybes, capsizes and contact with boom and hull can be frequent. A light, well-ventilated helmet reduces the risk of injury without compromising comfort and freedom of movement.
The models combine an impact-resistant shell, removable and washable inner padding, water drainage holes and a quick adjustment system for a stable fit even at high speed. Many are compatible with visors and goggles and feature an adjustable chin strap, to stay firmly on your head even in case of a fall into the water.
How to choose the right helmet? Check your head circumference to find the correct size, prioritise ventilation for summer sessions and consider the weight: a lighter helmet puts less strain on the neck during long training sessions. For younger sailors there are dedicated versions with a smaller fit.
Negrinautica selects helmets and protections from the best technical brands such as Zhik, Vaikobi, GUL and Musto, to offer you certified safety and race-tested materials. Sail fast, sail protected.
