In June 2015 Crewsaver was proud to announce it had been chosen by Artemis Racing to be their Official Safety Supplier for the 35th America's Cup.
Five brand new products are being supplied including two unique new lifejackets, all of which will be on full display at Southampton Boat Show 2015 - Crewsaver stand, Ocean Hall, Stand No. G1804.
"We are very excited to be able to showcase some of the designs we created for Artemis Racing to enable them to perform safely and effectively at the America's Cup." says Ross Wilkinson, Managing Director of Crewsaver.
"This is a great opportunity for the general public to view these products close up and get an understanding of what the team goes through."
Crewsaver exclusively created two new radical buoyancy aids including one designed to meet the sailors' unique needs aboard the foiling AC 48 Class boat to ensure the Artemis Racing team perform safely, yet to the very best of their ability, under the most challenging of conditions.
These lifejackets combine cutting edge technology with innovative design. Key features include air bottle stowage, hands-free regulator, shoulder mounted knife, stretch to fit design, and an integrated communications system.
On top of this, and in collaboration with ForceField Body Armour, Crewsaver has incorporated its full level 2 spinal protection, a first for lifejacket technology. This, along with the chest and side armour protection, provides 360-degree impact protection.
Other items designed for Artemis Racing by Crewsaver and on display include branded long johns, helmets and rash vests.
In addition, every day visitors have the chance to win a Crewsaver Artemis Pro lifejacket, a signed picture of the team and a McMurdo S20 AIS, all presented in a lifejacket box.
To be in with a chance of winning visitors simply have to:
- Visit the Crewsaver stand during the 2015 Southampton Boat Show: Ocean Hall, Stand No. G1804
- Collect a Crewsaver goody bag
- Visit the stand at 4pm the same day
- Hand the completed entry form located in the bag to one of the sales representatives
The winner will then be selected at random from the completed entries received.
