Modern catamarans or other high performance boats, such as skiffs, are going faster and faster and incidents can cause significant trauma in the case of a fast deceleration or capsize. Making a parallel with other sports like horse riding, ski or cycling, we think that helmets will become used more and more in sailing activities, where the risks of falling or impacting against dagger boards or booms are present.

This is one of the best and safest sailing helmets on the market today and is used by numerous top level sailors and teams.
