Junior Buoyancy Aids

Junior Buoyancy Aids

Junior buoyancy aids are designed for the safety of young sailors getting into dinghy sailing on the Optimist, O'pen Skiff and RS Feva. They provide buoyancy suited to the child's weight while keeping the freedom of movement needed to learn how to manoeuvre and recover after a capsize.

Made with soft, shaped foam, they feature safety closures, adjustable buckles and often a crotch strap that prevents the aid from riding up in the water. Bright colours and reflective inserts increase the child's visibility at sea.

When choosing, it is essential to respect the manufacturer's weight ranges and test the fit: the aid must be snug yet comfortable. Ideal for sailing schools and beginner courses. Leading brands for junior sizes: Zhik, Vaikobi, GUL and Musto.
